What you get in month one:
· Intake call to gather all studio info, logins, and existing docs
· Build out Google Drive folder structure (internal + client-facing folders)
· Set up naming conventions and organization system
· Create the full parent email template library (30+ templates across general, competition, recital, reminders, policy, etc.)
· Build the monthly newsletter template
· Set up competition and recital deadline tracker with their current season dates
· Deliver everything with a walkthrough so they know how to use it
THEN:
· Parent email communication — drafted, sent, handled
· Monthly newsletter written and delivered, ready to go out
· Competition registrations submitted and deadlines actively managed — you won't find out something was due until after I've already taken care of it
· Recital and event planning support from first checklist to curtain call
· Studio handbook kept current so outdated policies stop causing confusion
· Workflow recommendations so things run more consistently behind the scenes
TOTAL COST = $1,497/month

By the end of your first month, you'll have:
· An organized Google Drive you can actually navigate
· A library of ready-to-send parent email templates for your most common communications
· A monthly newsletter template — you fill in the updates, hit send, done
· Your competition and recital deadlines tracked in one place so nothing slips through
· A monthly check-in so we stay ahead of what's coming
THEN:
· Parent email communication — drafted, sent, handled
· Monthly newsletter written and delivered, ready to go out
· Competition registrations submitted and deadlines actively managed — you won't find out something was due until after I've already taken care of it
· Recital and event planning support from first checklist to curtain call
· Studio handbook kept current so outdated policies stop causing confusion
· Workflow recommendations so things run more consistently behind the scenes
THEN:
· Your entire competition season — registrations, hotel blocks, packing guides, vendor communication, parent updates, and deadline management, all handled
· End-to-end recital project management — you show up and enjoy the show instead of running it from backstage
· Volunteer coordination from recruiting to scheduling to day-of communication
· Studio systems built or overhauled so your whole team knows exactly how things work
· A quarterly audit of your systems to make sure everything scales as you grow
· Priority availability so you're never waiting on me when something urgent comes up
TOTAL COST = $2,497/month
Your Best Season Starts Here
Let's get the admin off your plate and get you back to the floor.Your creativity is your superpower. Your business should support your life, your energy, and your dreams — without the stress, chaos, or self-doubt.
I’ve got answers.
-
Not exactly. I'm more of a behind-the-scenes operational partner built specifically for dance studios. While a general VA handles a wide range of tasks for various industries, I focus exclusively on the systems, communication, and logistics that keep dance studios running — because I know that world firsthand.
-
Not at all. I work with recreational and competition studios alike. If you're spending time on admin instead of teaching, I can help.
-
No commitment needed. À la carte services like the Competition Team Blueprint, Recital in a Box, and Studio Systems Audit are available as one-time projects.
-
Mostly through email, shared documents, and regular check-ins. Everything stays organized, documented, and easy for you to access at any time.
-
Yes — Ninth & Palmer is fully virtual and supports dance studios nationwide.
-
That's what the free discovery call is for. We'll talk through where you're spending the most time and what's falling through the cracks, and I'll recommend the best fit from there.
-
Monthly packages require a 3-month minimum to allow enough time to build systems, implement processes, and see real results.
-
It's a free, no-pressure conversation — usually about 30 minutes. We'll talk about your studio, what's working, what isn't, and where you're losing the most time. If we're a good fit, I'll walk you through which package or service makes the most sense.
-
Absolutely — and honestly, the off-season is the best time to start. We can update your handbook, build out your competition systems, streamline parent communication, and get everything organized before the chaos kicks back in.
-
A general admin needs to learn your world. I already live in it. As a dance mom and competition team parent of nearly a decade, I understand the calendar, the culture, and the pressure that comes with running a studio — which means less time explaining and more time getting things done.
