Hello
It's me, Jess Solomon.
Dance Studio Owner Consultant and Problem Solver.
About me
With 18 years of directing one of Melbourne’s most well-known dance studios, I’ve seen it all.
I’ve gone from striving for perfection (and nearly burning out) to building a self-managed studio that gives me the freedom to enjoy life, where I dedicate time to 'Mum-life', holidays, and even managed to study a law degree, all while supporting myself through my studio income.
​
I’m a natural problem solver who thrives on preventing and resolving the overwhelming parts of studio life.
​
I know how stressful studio ownership can be, and that’s why I created Like a Dance Boss, to provide practical, no-fluff advice and ready-to-use resources.
​
What took me years to learn is now yours to benefit from.
How can I help?
Starting a studio?
Wish you had a 'dance studio owner' friend so that you could pick their brain?
Let me be that friend.
I started my studio at 19 years old and have a cheat sheet.
​
Let's book a chat so that I can save you hours of googling and help you get it right from the start.
Things feel messy?
Not sure how to achieve work/life balance?
Does your studio feel outdated?
You need to start delegating, but are not sure how to?
Need to set up better systems to operate your studio from home so you can be home for dinner with your kids?​
​
I've got you. Let's chat.​
You have a problem right now?
Don't stress. Chances are that I've been through this hiccup, too.
Disgruntled parent?
Complaint about a staff member?
Having trouble getting a client to pay?
​
Let me take the emotion out of it, and find a solution for you to resolve this ASAP.
