Summit Session Descriptions

And We're Off
Rhee welcomes attendees to the 1st Virtual I.D.E.A. Business Summit. Be inspired and set the tone for a time of transformation and education.

Eyes to the Future 1
This year's registration coincides with so many other life-changing events for our students and their families; this is the season of "never-ending-registration." Let's dig deep into the possibilities for building enrollment, offering new programs, and fresh in-studio activities to keep our current and future students loving dance.

Eyes to the Future 2
Better and healthier intensive/competitive programs. What does the future hold for our "stronger" dancers? Let's explore fresh concepts to continue to educate and inspire as we pioneer a new dance world.

Zoom Hang Out 
Rhee gathers with Summit attendees for some Q&A and some fun.

Good Morning I.D.E.A.! 
The I.D.E.A. Morning Show featuring Geo Hubela with a special guest from HGTV. . . Be inspired, do a little dance and smile your way into a great day of education!

Number Crunch
All about dollars and sense! Where can we cut back without jeopardizing quality dance education? Explore cost-cutting concepts while we re-evaluate expenses to move forward into a more secure financial future. 

The Early Years: (Movement Workshop)
Andrea Trench shares her well-researched DiscoverDance early childhood dance curriculum with I.D.E.A. Members. Explore and examine new possibilities for the preschool classroom, along with strategies to offer students a foundation that prepares them for a future in dance and life.

Soul Talk
Leading during these times means that we must uncover and nurture our own needs. Psychotherapist, Dr. Claudette and Rhee explore how we can better balance our emotions to become more confident on a personal and business level. LaShonda Chaney continues sharing her strategies for creating a better understanding of the diversity within our classrooms.

In the Theatre of Life, the Show Must Go On! ~Avijeet Das 
We have made through one CoVid recital season. What have we learned? What may be changed forever? Where do we go next with the experience and knowledge we have? What is the best way to move forward with costuming? All of these questions and more are explored and analyzed to set us all on a path for success.

And One More Thing
