When COVID-19 first hit, dance studios everywhere were scrambling to stay afloat. After all, dancing is a social activity with contact. If you can\u2019t dance with a partner, what\u2019s the solution? Palomar Ballroom<\/a> took advantage of WellnessLiving\u2019s online tools and adapted their business to an online model. Now they teach online dance classes and one-to-one instruction remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeremy Pilling is trained in Salsa, Dance Theater, American Rhythm, Nightclub Dance, International Latin, and Ballroom. He had been teaching and performing ballroom for over 20 years. When the owner of Palomar Ballroom retired, Jeremy took over the dance studio, and now runs the locations in Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley, California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palomar Ballroom offers an assortment of beginner, advanced, social, and competitive dance classes, including Waltz, Tango, Cha Cha, Rumba, Foxtrot, Bachata, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Salsa, Samba, Burlesque, and Nightclub Two-Step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the pandemic first hit, Palomar Ballroom had been greatly affected. Ballroom dancing is a social activity, and so it was a big change switching from partner classes to solo classes. Jeremy and six other dance instructors on the roster pivoted to a virtual dance studio by offering six to 10 Zoom classes per week on the schedule from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy living room became my dance studio,\u201d explained Jeremy. \u201cI got an HD camera, wireless mic, neck speaker, and other equipment so I could provide real classes to my community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How has our Zoom integration benefited your business?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While it was great the Palomar Ballroom community still had dance, Jeremy spent hours setting up each Zoom class and emailing links to clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything changed for Palomar Ballroom once they added WellnessLiving\u2019s Zoom integration. In a few easy steps, Jeremy\u2019s work was cut in half. All he had to do was:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
