Inside Dance Teacher Expo - The Weekend For Dance Studio Owners & Educators

It's the most chaotic, sparkly, high-energy weekend of the year… and it's nearly here.

In this special episode, Amanda & Bec are talking all things Dance Teacher Expo - happening April 11–12 at ICC Darling Harbour, Sydney - and why it's the one event that can genuinely re-energise you, upskill your team, and remind you why you do this whole studio life thing in the first place.

They share what they love most about Expo (the vibe, the learning, the connection), give you the inside scoop on presenters + classes they're excited about (hello Stephen Tannos, Shannon Atkins, Relative Motion + more), and chat about how studio owners can plan the weekend so they actually get value - not just overstimulation and sore feet.

Oh, and they're brainstorming their stall activation… ball pits, swings, balloon domes… and possibly a human claw machine?!

Key takeaways / discussion points

Vendor hall + fashion show + cocktail party = networking + inspiration + fun.
