Spotlight on the Finalist: Dance Academy of Loudoun

Thanks to Elizabeth Boehnlein, owner of Dance Academy of Loudoun, for answering a few questions. Congratulations on your nomination!

 

1.  What would it mean to you and your company to win a Small Business Award?

We would be thrilled and appreciative if we won a small business award.  We feel a part of the community and teaching young people in the community brings us great pleasure.  To be acknowledge would mean a great deal.

2.  What business person has influenced you the most?

My past, dance teacher, Shely Pack, has influenced me and how I feel I should run a business to instill a confidence in young dancers and a forever love of dance.

3.  If you weren’t running your own business, what would you be doing?

If I was not running my business I would be pursuing my other artistic passions (painting and photography.) Or even another small business.

4.  What book are you reading right now?

I am reading Inkheart with my son right now.  We plan to read Peter Pan next.

5.  What is your favorite app?

As far as apps go, I try to use my Lose It app to keep better track of what I put in my body.

6.  If you had a full 24 hours off, and your family was out of town, what would you do?

A full 24 hours to myself, I would probably window shop and read in a bookstore.

7.  What is the smallest thing that has had the largest impact on your business?

Offering classes for older kids and teens for beginners to start dancing.  A class that they can take with the same age peers has been so popular and needed to build their love of movement.
