How to Find Dance Studio Owners to Sell To (2026)

5 min read

LeadQuasar lists 2,240 dance studios, and every one has a phone number and a website. The listings do not include email addresses or contact names, so you reach the owner by calling the studio or through its website. Texas (612) and California (464) hold the most studios, and most of the rest spread across ten more states with state pages.

A list of studios, not people

These are business listings. For each studio you get the name, phone, website, address and Google rating. All 2,240 are rated, and the average is 4.57, which is high. Parents review studios their children love, and most of these studios have happy customers.

Without names or emails in the data, the website does the work a contact record normally would. Studio sites almost always have a "Meet our staff" or "About" page, and the owner or artistic director is usually listed first, often with a photo and a bio. Many list an office email for registration questions. Spend a minute there before each call. You will know who to ask for, and often what styles they teach and what ages they serve.

The studio calendar decides when to call

A dance studio runs on a school-year rhythm, and that shapes when an owner has time and when they spend money.

  • Afternoons and evenings are classes. Children come after school, adults after work. An owner who teaches will not pick up at 6pm. Late morning or early afternoon is the best window.
  • Enrollment season is busy. When the new season starts, the front desk is flooded with registration questions. Pitch before it, not during.
  • Recital and competition season is a spending moment. Costumes, venue rental, video, photography, trophies and travel all get booked around it, often well in advance.
  • Summer is quieter. Many studios run camps or intensives, but the owner usually has more time to talk about next year's plans.

When an owner says "call me later", ask when. Then call on that date.

What sells to dance studios

People who sell to studios tend to fall into a few groups:

  • Studio management software: registration, class scheduling, tuition billing, parent communication
  • Costumes, dancewear and shoes
  • Recital services: video, photography, ticketing, programs
  • Facility: sprung floors, marley, mirrors, barres, sound systems
  • Insurance for the studio and events
  • Marketing to fill classes, especially new-student enrollment

The owner is almost always the buyer, and often the head teacher too. They care about three things: full classes, parents who pay on time, and a recital that goes smoothly. Tie your pitch to one of those.

Where the studios are

State Studios
Texas 612
California 464
Illinois 117
New York 116
Pennsylvania 115
Indiana 113
Florida 112
Michigan 111

North Carolina (109), Ohio (108), Arizona (106) and Tennessee (50) follow. Outside Texas and California, each state's studios are mostly in one large city: Chicago (109), Philadelphia (101), New York (100), Charlotte (72) and Jacksonville (71), for example. Texas spreads across Houston (96), San Antonio (96), Austin (84), Dallas (59) and El Paso (58). California has San Francisco (101), Los Angeles (96), San Diego (95) and San Jose (82).

That makes the list easy to work one city at a time, which suits anything local such as flooring installation, photography or a regional costume supplier.

How to run the calls

  1. Browse dance studio leads and pick a state or city. Searching and filtering are free.
  2. Check the quality score on each record before unlocking. Every listing in this category is in the STANDARD tier.
  3. Visit the website. Note the owner's name, the styles taught and whether they compete.
  4. Call in the late morning. Ask for the owner by name.
  5. If you reach the front desk, ask when the owner is usually in the office, not teaching.
  6. Follow up with a short email if the website lists one.

Keep the opener to one line about the studio, one line about you and one question. "I saw your competition team placed well this year, and I work with studios on costume orders for competition season. Who handles that for you?" works because it shows you looked.
