Tuesday 27 October. 11:30am AEDT (Melbourne, NSW, ACT, Tasmania), 11:00am SA, 10:30am QLD, 10:00am NT, 8:30am WA.
Can’t register ahead? No stress. We’ll share a Join Now link on the day so you can jump straight in.
Come as you are
This isn’t a training. It’s an open house.
Think of it like a real estate open house. Come in, have a look around and ask whatever you like. No scripted slide deck, just a real conversation with Kerrie and the teachers already running ASPIRE in their studios.
Meet real partner teachers
Hear from teachers already running ASPIRE inside their studios. What worked, what surprised them, and what their assistants are like now.
Ask anything
Open mic or the chat box, your choice. Costs, commission, how assessment works, what it asks of your teachers. Nothing is off the table.
See how it fits your studio
How ASPIRE runs week to week, what your senior dancers actually do, and how little it asks of you as the studio owner.
Your hosts
Joining Kerrie on the day

16
partner studios
Free to your studio
No setup cost and no fees to join.
Commission for every enrolled student
You earn $720 per student over the two years they are enrolled, paid monthly.
We take the admin off your plate
Training, assessment and paperwork are handled by DTO.
Logos, a certificate and accredited backing
Handed to you for nothing, so families know it’s the real deal.
A quick gut check
ASPIRE isn’t for every studio
And that’s on purpose. It’s built for owners who want to fix the assistant teacher problem properly, with accredited backing behind them.
It’s for you if
You’re tired of assistants who were never actually taught how to assist.
You want your senior dancers to stay, and grow into leaders.
You want a recognised qualification behind your assistant program.
It’s probably not for you if
You’re happy with how your assistants run right now.
You’re not interested in a formal, accredited pathway for your dancers.
Full transparency: partway through, we’ll invite you to join as an ASPIRE affiliate studio right then and there, and we’ll set it all up for you. No obligation. If you never enrol a student, no big deal.
See you there
