Jennifer Tell is a serial entrepreneur. With a thriving dance studio in Forest Lake, MN Jennifer has added an annual dance event as well as a digital product to serve other studio owners. She’s a mama, wife and kick ass boss babe who is generous and gracious. I think you’ll enjoy her sincere voice of what’s truly important in creating a work life balance.
Jennifer started her dance training at the age of 6, at 2 different local studios. She completed her BS in Management from the University of Minnesota. After college, she danced 2 years as a Minnesota Vikings Cheerleader, serving as captain in her final year. She then pursued her dream of owning a dance studio, and in 1999, opened The Dance Factory. With her dance and business training, she has made The Dance Factory a successful studio with a great reputation in the Forest Lake area. Jennifer continues to train at master classes and business seminars. She has a true passion for teaching and instilling a love for dance in her students. In her personal life, she enjoys spending time with her husband and 2 children. Jennifer is a founding member of "More Than Just Great Dancing," an organization of like-minded dance studio owners, committed to teaching not only dance technique, but to serve as mentors to their students, teaching kindness, confidence, and the importance of giving back to the community.
The Visibility Podcast is for studio owners who are ready to build a business that works: without working themselves into the ground.
Hosted by dance studio owner, business strategist, and life coach Melissa Rose, this podcast goes beyond simply getting more students through the door. We talk marketing and visibility, of course. But we also talk pricing, profitability, leadership, team building, decision-making, boundaries, and what it really takes to grow a studio that supports the life you want to live.
Because the problem you "think" you have isn’t always the real problem.
With nearly two decades of studio ownership and strategies rooted in a proven framework, Melissa brings real-world experience, practical business strategy, and honest conversations about the very human side of entrepreneurship.
You built your studio because you love what you do. Now let’s make sure the business you built works for you, too.
More clarity. Better decisions. A stronger studio.
