When is a Conference NOT
Just a Conference

28th September  2025    |     Location: Marriott Hotel, Cardiff

For: Dance, Drama, Music, and Theatre School Owners

Imagine a Day That’s More Than Just “Another Conference”…

What if you could walk into a room full of like-minded school owners and leave with:

  • Real solutions to your biggest business headaches
  • Fresh inspiration to reignite your passion
  • New connections with people who get you
  • Actionable strategies you’ll actually use (not just write down and forget!)

Welcome to Den LIVE! – the ultimate, interactive, gamified, and FUN event for performing arts educators who want to grow, connect, and thrive.

A day that is fun and productive!

What if running your studio/school could feel as fulfilling as teaching?

I know you didn't start your studio to spend nights drowning in spreadsheets or feeling overwhelmed by the business side of your passion. You became an educator because you love transforming lives through the arts—and you deserve to experience that same joy in leading your business.

Den LIVE was created for studio owners ready to embrace their role as both artist and leader. This one-day event brings together peers who truly understand your journey and dreams for what your studio could become.

Together, we'll work through systems and strategies that create sustainable growth without sacrificing the heart of what you do. You'll discover practical tools that honor your creative spirit, including AI automation techniques that can give you back 5-10 hours each week to focus on what lights you up.

This isn't about pushing you to become someone you're not—it's about supporting you to become the confident leader your studio needs while staying true to your artistic values.

You'll leave with a clear path forward, meaningful connections with fellow educators, and the gentle confidence that comes from knowing you have the tools to nurture both your art and your business.

September 28th is your invitation to step into leadership that feels authentic, sustainable, and aligned with who you are.

FAQ

Samantha Steatham- Edmunds

Sarah is amazing! She always speaks from first-hand experience, telling you exactly what you need to do and how to do it — and she does it all with endless love and support. I’ve attended many of Sarah’s trainings, including Encore, Planning, and Steer, along with so many more that have been right at my fingertips — from social media planning to direct debit payments. No matter what, she is ALWAYS on hand to help with tough but honest advice that makes me see sense, while holding my hand through it all. Being part of The Den has been a complete game-changer for me. I’ve never once felt judged or looked down on. Instead, I’ve found beautiful friends through the networking events, and it’s such a comfort to not feel alone in this journey. Thank you, Sarah — your knowledge, time, honesty, and love are so appreciated. You’ve helped me in more ways than you’ll ever know

Sarah delivers an incredible amount of valuable content in a clear, approachable way. She has a gift for encouraging you to stay true to yourself whilst achieving authentic improvements in your business, and she helps you feel in control throughout the process. Her personable style leaves you feeling genuinely supported and inspired. As someone who doesn’t always find group interactions easy, I found real value in connecting with the other attendees.
