How Global Dance Tours Can Transform Your Studio

As dance studio owners, we’re always on the lookout for new ways to inspire our students, create memorable experiences, and deepen the connection between our studio families. One fantastic opportunity I’ve experienced firsthand is taking your studio on an international dance tour.

Recently, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the amazing team from Global Dance Tours—Mina and Victoria—to talk about their incredible dance tour experiences and how they can benefit your studio.

The Magic of Dance Tours

Global Dance Tours has been organizing unforgettable experiences for Australian dance studios for years. Their tours offer not just performances but also opportunities to explore iconic locations, cultural experiences, and a unique chance for your students to bond beyond the studio.

The team offers tours primarily to the USA, with exciting stops like Disneyland and Universal Studios, but they also arrange tours to Europe and Asia, depending on what your studio is looking for.

One of the things I loved about my tour with Global was how everything was taken care of. As a studio owner, managing a large group of students and families while overseas can be overwhelming. But with Global Dance Tours, I didn’t have to worry about a thing—they handled everything, from transportation and accommodation to organizing unique performance opportunities.

Building Studio Culture Through Tours

For me, the most valuable part of the tour was how it brought our studio community together. The students weren’t just learning and performing—they were bonding.

Many of the families on the tour became friends for life. Some of the students who joined us weren’t even the most advanced dancers, but the experience transformed them. They came back inspired, ready to push themselves even harder in the studio.

This sense of community and connection is priceless. And, for those of us running studios, it’s a great way to build loyalty and retention. When families have these shared experiences, they stay more engaged with your studio, and their children stay committed to their dance journey.

It’s Not Just for the Elite

One misconception many studio owners have is that these tours are only for their elite dancers. But that couldn’t be further from the truth!

At Global Dance Tours, everyone is welcome. Whether your students are top competitors or just starting out, they can all gain something from the experience. In fact, many of the less experienced dancers come back from the tour more motivated than ever.

Plus, the tours aren’t just for the dancers. Siblings, parents, and even grandparents are welcome. While the students are in workshops or performing, the rest of the family can enjoy sightseeing tours, cultural experiences, or just relax. It’s a great family vacation with the bonus of a dance adventure.

Creating Unforgettable Memories

Looking back at my own experience, there are a few moments that stand out. The surprise stretch Hummer ride to Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas was incredible—something my students and I still talk about today.

And for those of you who think taking your students to dance at Disneyland might not be exciting, trust me, it’s amazing. It was one of the highlights of the trip, and even the most skeptical students were blown away.

For those who are concerned about navigating such a big adventure, Global Dance Tours takes care of everything. From organizing tickets and meals to finding lost items (yes, even a misplaced laptop!), they ensure the entire trip runs smoothly. Their customer service is second to none, and that’s why I’ll always go back to them.

Thinking of Something Different?

If you’re not quite ready for an overseas tour, there are smaller, local options as well. Global Dance Tours offers domestic tours within Australia, cruises, and short trips that can be just as impactful for your students. One of the most unique experiences they offer is a dance cruise, where students not only perform but also meet and learn from the performers on board.

It’s a perfect way to ease your studio into the idea of a larger international tour.

How to Get Started

Now that travel is back, this is the perfect time to start planning your next big adventure. If you’re thinking about organizing a tour for your studio, Global Dance Tours is offering amazing incentives for studio owners who get involved.

It’s not just about the students; it’s a fantastic way to grow your studio community and provide once-in-a-lifetime experiences for your dance families.
