While most 13 year olds are thinking about what they are doing today, Alexis is busy planning her future. Passionate about dance, Alexis knows that in order to make a profession from her love, she needs to be ‘on her toes’ in more ways than one.
Alexis wants to create a place where young dancers can learn the art of dance. Notebooks full of floor plans, choreography, and designs for dance costumes cover her bedroom floor, along with dance magazines and college brochures. Seventh grade may seem a little early for college plans, but this artist has a mind for business. She has already realized that loving what you do is only a piece of being successful. She is researching colleges and universities that will allow her to major in both dance and business. When she discovered the cost of tuition, Alexis set her plan in motion.
Dance studios may be, and most likely are, run by brilliant artistic minds. However, nobody’s perfect; these artists are not always the finest business people. Alexis realized this, and was inspired to help bridge the gap between the artistic minds of the dance world, and the necessary steps these people must take to become successful. So, she started FindADanceStudio.com.
Today's parents search for everything online. Finding a dance studio is no exception. Unfortunately, many studio owners still think that a line in the local phone book should be all that they need to attract new students. Those that do have a website tend to use free services that can't be found through search engines. FindADanceStudio.com helps fix that. Alexis has spent countless hours tracking down these studios and listing them on this website. She searches local directory listings and dance competition websites, and posts requests from dancers across the country on social networks for their studio information.
Right now, this is a free service that she is providing. She hopes to prove that it is worthwhile to have your studio listed and then ask for a small maintenance fee to continue to provide a link. FindADanceStudio.com will do the work of high search engine rankings so that even if the studio is using a do-it-yourself blog site it can be found here by using state-of-the-art search and mapping software. If the studio does not have a website, then contact information is provided along with location details.
Got WWW?, an International marketing and web design company, has taken special interest in Alexis' vision. Got WWW? provides her site with the programming to run the location search as well as Search Engine Optimization to assure her customers that FindADanceStudio.com will continue to top the charts. This company has also agreed to provide a special package price for any studio looking to upgrade or launch a website. Got WWW? would like to encourage young entrepenuers like Alexis to pursue their dreams.
