If any of the local dance events teach a dance step before the dancing starts, volunteer to teach a step. Give the dancers a chance to see you and how you teach, and get some name recognition with the group most likely to use your services.

I agree. A very successful studio owner in my area taught all kinds of classes for free when he was starting out, to gain a reputation and name recognition.

Another thing to do is to specialize in a niche that other studios aren't strong in. There are several successful studios here, and they have slightly different emphasis. They all teach most dances, but one stresses competition, one social dancing, one west coast swing and country western, etc.

If you are in the US, ballroom dancing is big right now. You could try contacting the local papers and TV stations and see if they want to do feature stories on ballroom dancing based on your studio.

BTW, if you do any print advertising like ads or fliers, be sure to have someone edit them. The grammar in your post would put a lot of people off.

heheheheheehh ! :) ellen i realy appreciate what u said! :)
yes i am Greek so the fliers will be in Greek ! my Mother is english ! but living in a foreign country like Greece and talking all the time Greek can't help me a lot improoving my english !
sometimes free might not be a good idea i think !
offcaurse i don't know a lot about marketing ! but giving free lessons is like giving them the point that u do not have bussiness and need them more than ever ! (Might even meen that my school is not Good)
it is a good idea ! would it be better to do a 1 hour lesson every friday where the parties are ?
