Laura’s Dance & Fitness Studio Interview with Laura Marciano

Laura’s Dance & Fitness Studio, LLC., in Huntington, New York, is owned by Laura Marciano. She is also their Director. She describes Laura’s Dance as a studio that specializes in children’s dance classes, adult group fitness classes, personal training and birthday parties. Laura combined her two passions, dance and fitness, and brought them under one roof. At Laura’s Dance, they teach children the values and skills of creativity as well as help them improve confidence and self-esteem.

In Laura’s opinion, what separates her dance studio from other dance studios is the fact that at the studio, they are a family. She likes to think of all of her students as her kids (even though they obviously are not).  She genuinely cares about all of them. According to Laura, the students are great and the parents are great!  She believes that everyone cares about one another and it is a very friendly environment.  They are a dance family!

A common mistake that Laura sees dancers make is thinking too hard. She knows that sounds crazy, but she is serious! She believes they think way too hard sometimes it can hinder their dancing and the creative process all together. She realizes that dance teachers tend to give 10 different corrections at once that the students need to try to apply. She says that sometimes you just need to let go, not think so hard and DANCE! And, a lot of the time the correction gets fixed much faster.

Laura’s Dance & Fitness Studio is a fairly new studio. They have just started their third season this year and it is Laura’s goal for this year to double the amount of registered dance students. She can happily say they are very close to accomplishing that goal.

Laura has always wanted to open her own studio but what really got her started in the whole process was her Intro to Business class in college. In that class, they had to create their own real functioning business throughout the entire semester. So, Laura chose to open a dance studio as her project. She did all the necessary research as though she was really going to open a studio.  It was a ton of work!  But in the end, she got an A+ and Laura’s professor told Laura that he could honestly see Laura opening her own studio one day. Laura’s professor had 100% confidence in her.  That helped give her the confidence she needed to move forward with her dream and make it a reality.  According to Laura, opening her own studio has been a great experience so far and she hopes to continue to grow her dance family.
