When Sara Bremer opened Just Dance Roanoke in 2012, she
knew that she couldn’t run her business alone. Before relocating
to Roanoke, Virginia, Bremer had worked in a dance studio in
Charlotte, North Carolina, which kept all of its records on paper.
From her work in that studio, Sara knew that running a paper-based
studio and maintaining a full-time job would be too much for her to
handle.
“I could not do everything I needed on paper,” Bremer said. “I
needed something for my clients.” After a year with MINDBODY
dance studio software, Bremer can get everything from managing
class size to payroll done without paper.
Increasing Tempo with Growth
“With MINDBODY,
I can control my
business even when
I’m not there.“
Sara turned to MINDBODY to help her manage her growing
business and instructor team. With twenty-eight classes a week, Just
Dance Roanoke now employs eighteen instructors, each of which
receive different pay based upon the attendance of their classes and
the time of day they teach.
“The classes vary from fifteen to seventy depending on time and
instructor,” Bremer said. “We’re growing and accommodating
people’s schedules.” With the help of MINDBODY, Sara can adjust
the payroll of each of her instructors.
Freedom to Perform Solo
With MINDBODY’s mobile apps, Bremer and Just Dance Roanoke
have been able to experiment with new business models. During a
large holiday workshop, Bremer was able to station two employees
to check in customers at the door on their phones, while another
employee ran the cash register. By allowing Bremer’s instructors to
check in clients on their phones, MINDBODY apps allow Just Dance
Roanoke to experiment with larger classes and classes outside of
the studio.
“People like dancing,” Bremer said. “Music is constantly changing
and so is dance.”
As her business continues to grow, Sara can feel comfortable
leaving Just Dance Roanoke in her instructors hands when she’s
working at her full-time job.
“With MINDBODY, I can control my business even when I’m not
there.”
