How to create an online survey for your dance studio

Designing Your Dance Studio Survey in Canva

Combine Canva and Activity Messenger allows you create stunning on brand surveys for your Dance Studio.

Here’s how to start:

2. Integrate Canva Designs: Add images, text, and other elements from Canva to reflect of your dance studio’s brand.

Adding Questions to Your Survey

With over 80 question types available, you can tailor your survey to the specific needs of your dance studio:

• Multiple Choice & Text Input: For quantitative and qualitative feedback about classes, instructors, and facilities.
• Star Rating & Radio Button Grid: For quick, easily analyzable responses about overall satisfaction and specific aspects of the studio experience.

Note: These steps are used when creating an online survey form in Activity Messenger, but are the same if you are using another form builder such as JotForm, Google Forms, or Wufoo.

Sharing your feedback form with dancers and families

Once your survey is ready, sharing it effectively is crucial to ensure maximum participation. Activity Messenger provides a unique link for each survey, which you can share via social media or even as a QR code displayed in your studio. This approach makes it easy for students and parents to access the survey and share their thoughts.

Sharing Strategies:

• Social Media and QR Codes: Utilize digital platforms and in-studio QR codes for easy access.
• Email and SMS Integration: Send the survey link through email or SMS, directly reaching your studio’s community.

 

📌 Pro Tip: I have found working with hundreds of dance studios and gymnastics clubs that sharing the survey in different ways such as using social media, email/SMS, QR code at the front desk has helped increase the number of survey submissions. By collecting more data, you’ll have better data to analyze and make better decisions as a dance studio owner.

Automate surveys to help capture your dancers experience

Activity Messenger allows you to schedule survey distribution according to the end of a session, event, or even after a dance recital. The system will send out a survey by SMS/Email X number of days before or after the last class of a session.

Automation Benefits:

• Timely Distribution: Surveys are sent at the most relevant time, increasing response rates.
• Efficiency: Automation saves you time and ensures consistent feedback collection.

📌 Pro Tip: As an operator, I love collecting feedback. But I would always forget or never send the surveys at the right time. Now I can simply create the automation at the same time I set up my classes for the next session and Activity Messenger does the rest. All I have to do now is analyze the data from time to time and make course corrections as needed. You can include a dance quote to inspire your dancers.
