In this podcast episode, we introduce our new TWIST program, sharing why we created it and how it fits into our dance studio, along with the many class options we offer for our K-2 dancers.
We start by giving an update on our "State of Confetti" meeting, an annual planning session for our 9th Confetti season. During this meeting, we planned two Camp Confetti events, chose our marketing theme for the year (which you'll have to wait to see!), organized a photo shoot and trade shows, and reviewed what worked well last year and where we can improve. We also discussed customer engagement ideas like Halloweek on the Dance Floor and top customer gifts. Becca and Dani each shared their favorite part of the planning retreat and set goals for Confetti.
Now, on to the TWIST program. We created this program to offer more class variety for our Kindergarten dancers. Some of the classes we offer include:
TWIST â a tap class featured in our showFairytale BalletHip Hop and PopTWIST Petite Pizzazz â an invite-only class with tap and jazzK-2 Ballet/TapK-2 Jazz/Hip HopAcroMusical Theater DanceMarquee MagicPre Petite Spotlight (K-1)Petite SL (1st-2nd grade)We know this age group has a wide range of skill levels, so we wanted to provide plenty of options to meet their needs.
TWIST was created to replace our previous Twirl Agua program for Kindergarten. After noticing that Agua had lower enrollment compared to our other Twirl levels, we realized these dancers were ready for something more challenging and different. Thatâs when we developed TWIST, specifically designed for Kindergarten but also perfect for K-2 dancers.
TWIST works similarly to our Twirl program. We provide a teacher guide with detailed lesson plans, but you can customize it to fit your classes and studio. The program focuses on Jazz and Tap, incorporating a themed obstacle course into each lesson. We use fun tools like confetti cones, hula hoops, a balance beam, and âtracksâ for spot markers to keep the kids engaged. There are also Twist Tumblers (dice games) and hopscotch patterns to add even more excitement.
When you purchase TWIST, you get:
A Teacher Guide with 10 themed lesson plans (5 for jazz, 5 for tap)Colorful graphics and templates for activities like Twist Tumbler dice, Twist Tracks spot markers, a Twist Certificate, and moreA Twist Bag Tag for dancersâ bags10 Activity/Coloring Sheets reinforcing jazz and tap terminologyTwo Twist Trackers (one for jazz, one for tap) to help dancers track their progressA source list for optional products to enhance the programA Spotify Playlist with music suggestions for each themeDecor Suggestions for each themeIf you're already using our Twirl Preschool Program, you'll be happy to know that the themes for TWIST align perfectly with Twirl, making it easier to decorate your studio for both programs. TWIST is easy to implement, but we recommend purchasing it at least five days before starting so you have time to review the materials and gather any supplies.
Add a colorful twist to your K-2 tap and jazz classes by ordering your download today!

In episode 65, we continue our discussion of creating costumes, but this episode focuses more on costumes for rec classes and lower cost options for customizing your costumes!
Custom isn't always feasible: Not every dance piece calls for a custom costume due to budget constraints. We begin by discussing the choreographer's vision and create Pinterest boards to capture the desired look and vibe.Mix & Match Magic: For Hip Hop and Tap, we often mix and match streetwear elements, selecting a color scheme and purchasing items to style creatively. Amazon, Urban Outfitters, ASOS, and more are our go-to resources.Crafty Touch: We love crafting sashes, corsages, capes, and other accessories to add a unique touch to basic costumes.Year-End Show (Rec Class) Costumes:
Catalog Curation: Limiting the number of costume catalogs used streamlines the process and facilitates exchanges and coordination.Customization: We select pre-made costumes for most themes, but sometimes we can't find the perfect fit. In these cases, we get creative. For instance, for an "Alice in Wonderland" theme, we paired a blue dress from the catalog with custom white aprons, resulting in adorable Alices.Theme-Specific Customization: "Are You Madder than a Hatter?" inspired Mad Hatter costumes with sequin dresses, top hats, and show logo patches. We utilize custom printed patches from THE STUDIO for a personalized touch.Creative Innovation: We apply custom touches to around 5-6 costumes each year, adding unique flair to fit our themes.Recital Hip Hop Costumes:
Customization for Teens: Many off-the-shelf teen hip hop costumes don't match our themes, so we order separates like pants from Weissman's and add a custom hoodie or t-shirt featuring theme-specific graphics.Personal Style: We provide accessories like bandanas, hats, and bracelets for teens to add their personal style to their costumes, ensuring a unique look.Thinking Outside the Costume Box: Consider combining costume pieces with blazers, vests, and more to create a tailored look that fits your theme.Final Thoughts:
Dive deeper into costume design and think creatively to make your costumes perfectly complement your choreography and themes. While finding the ideal costume may not always be as easy as flipping through a catalog, the extra effort can make all the difference in the final performance.
Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the creative costume journey!

Episode 61 of ourMake Dance Fun Podcast is Part 2 of our A Typical Day in our (Studio) Life. In Episode 56, we covered Mondays and Tuesdays, so this episode will detail what Wednesday, Thursday and Friday look like!
These last three days of our ânormalâ work week usually vary more than our Monday and Tuesday schedule, but we do have a general structure, so we are going to do our best to share this with you guys!
Wednesday:
Confetti Meeting led by Shelley around 9:30a.m. Ellie joins sometimes, tooReserve at least a portion of this day for various Confetti projects, marketing campaigns, creative work, brainstorming, creating presentations, working on Camp Confetti depending on time of yearWork from our office at Annex on any various projects we have going on for Rhythm or Confetti until around 3 or 3:30. Go home at a normal hour on this day and sometimes very early and work from home. This is also a podcast day when time allows! And, we do our podcast recordings from home since we donât have a quiet area at the studio!Thursday:
Admin Meeting with Shelley and Krista. We are currently working on putting new systems in place and this is requiring extra time, so we typically meet to work on this and/or anything else that Krista or Shelley needs from us.Occasional marketing meetings as well!Work on our individual to-do lists in BasecampThursday afternoon/evening - sometimes at Annex and most the time we will end the day at Rhythm for costume meetings or rehearsals. During Competition and Convention Season, we hold our Spirit Sesh and final rehearsals at Rhythm on Thursdays (usually a late night during competition season). We spend Thursday nights packing up and loading for the weekend as they almost always start early Friday morning. In theory, this is only once per month, but it feels like itâs an every week thing when you are in it! From September - March, we are very busy with our custom costumes from design meetings to searching for fabric, meeting with Beth for our sample meetings and fittings. This takes place on all days, but because Wednesday and Thursday are more flexible, it's most often on those two days!Fridays
Catch all/Catch up day. Hold any necessary meetings with Emily as sheâs at the desk most of the day. Itâs a day that not too many people are reaching out to us or asking many questions, so we are usually able to get things done.Meet with Ellie, our assistant and project manager Confetti Photo and Video Shoots - If we are having a photo or video shoot, it usually starts mid-late afternoon (when school is out) and goes until we get it done. We almost always start setting up anything we can on Thursday evening, but this has been a challenge that we are still trying to figure out. Crafting and creating wallsObviously, we adjust each day as needed, but thatâs what our weekdays typically look like. We hope youâve found this to be helpful in some way when mapping out your week!

In Episode 60 of our Make Dance Fun podcast, we're doing a fun creativity exercise! We're using this fun box that looks like little match sticks called "SPARK YOUR CREATIVITY - 50 Ways to Ignite Bright Ideas!" We all get stuck sometimes, so we love finding âoutside the boxâ ways to get our brains going!
Dani: Take a walk, tuning in carefully to everything you smell.Becca: List things that inspire you, refer to them when feeling stuckDani: Destroy something and make a new thing from the remains.Becca: Tune everything else out. Listen to just yourself.Dani: Improvise.Becca: Give yourself a time limitDani: Take a break from a project; it may help you gain perspective.Becca: Read about or learn something outside your area of expertise.Dani: Make a log of âmistakesâ. Try seeing them as strategies.Becca: Look at the situation from a different angle.Dani: Hone your powers of observation.Becca: Take 5 minutes and write down as many new ideas as you can.Dani: Try working in 90 minute creative sprints - take a 30 minute breakBecca: Spend 10 minutes a day on a new creative pursuit. Repeat for a week.Dani: Take a risk, failures may teach you more than successes.Becca: Shadow someone creative for a day and see what you pick up.Dani: Find new uses for materials or elements youâd typically toss out.Becca: Turn off your inner critic.Dani: Take a walk, tuning in carefully to everything you hear.Becca: Give yourself a complete change of scenery.
We each draw 10 different âsparksâ included in this kit and discuss what we might do in that situation, or how it could help us in a creative way! We hope that it will ignite your creativity as well!Now go be creative!
