"Our studio has grown from 6 students in 2016 to 570 students with over 960 enrollment. The guidance and support from Rhee Gold and the entire I.D.E.A. community has helped us so much along the way. We are now planning our 2nd expansion adding 2 more studios for a total of 6 studios!"-- Alex & Joyce Hess; Ovation Dance Academy; Overland Park, KS

I.D.E.A. provides diverse business perspectives and a multitude of concepts, allowing members to incorporate tailor-made strategies into their journey towards success.
