DBH Partnerships: VA & Studio Manager
Your dedicated virtual team, built into your studio.
A dedicated DBH team handling the administration, systems and day-to-day running of your studio — so the work gets done consistently, without it all sitting on you.
Virtual administration, operations and done-for-you support.
DBH Partnerships gives dance studio owners access to a trained remote support team made up of dance industry experts who truly understand the demands of studio ownership. With experience working both on the floor and behind the scenes within the industry, our team brings practical insight into the challenges, workflows, and expectations that make dance businesses unique. This isn’t just task support — it’s about creating dependable capacity, strengthening your operations, and helping your studio run consistently and confidently.
Best suited to
Owners overwhelmed by administration and day-to-day delivery.
Studios experiencing inconsistent follow-up, enrolment handling or parent communication.
Businesses with systems in place but not enough capacity to run them consistently.
Owners who need operational oversight, structure and accountability across a growing team.
Studios preparing for concerts, enrolment periods, launches or other high-volume seasons.
Areas of support
Administration & customer experience: inbox and enquiry management, trial coordination, enrolment administration, parent and student communication.
Operations & systems: workflow documentation, SOP creation, task management, software administration, team coordination and reporting.
Campaign administration: coordination of approved email/database communications, website content updates and lead-capture administration (not social media marketing).
Peak-period & project support: concert administration, end-of-year rollover, new-year enrolment prep and event/launch administration.
Important service boundary: social media strategy, content planning, copywriting, graphic creation, scheduling, account management and performance optimisation are not included in general VA/Ops Partnerships. These are delivered by DBH's expert marketing team through Strategic Marketing & Social Media Support.
