Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in dance education but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Eugene Parkhimovich, Co-Founder of E&A Dance, located in Ocoee, FL, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Our business is a Ballroom Dance Studio. Anyone who would like to learn how to ballroom dance could be our customer. We have students from 10 years old to 80 years old. Wedding couples, empty birds for rediscovery of their passion for each other, and people who are new to the area and need a new community.
Tell us about yourself
Our customers motivate us each day. It's amazing to see their progress in dancing every day. But not only that. Our business's mission is to inspire positive changes in people's lives through ballroom dancing. It's also inspiring to watch how our students change day by day. We have an example of a super shy guy who became more confident talking to other people after taking dance lessons. We have examples of ladies that went through hard divorces and, after dance lessons, returned their confidence back. It's rewarding to see those changes.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Since our studio is only one year old, our biggest accomplishment was to open it in the middle of the pandemic and make it work, hitting all our goals. I'm sure our biggest accomplishments are in the future.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
To be able to wear different hats and change them many times during the day.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Trust and believe in yourself.
- Work hard and stay motivated.
- Create an amazing team and keep them motivated every day.
