ABOUT SCHOTIME DANCE STUDIO

Hi there,

Welcome to Schotime Dance Center! We are Megan and Joe Schobert, the owners and we’re so glad you’re here! Here’s a little more about us:

We both are originally from Waukesha, Wisconsin, where we both attended the same high school. Joe was deeply involved in sports, participating in football, basketball, track, and baseball. Meanwhile, Megan was a dedicated member of the dance team and a competitive dancer at Liberty Dance Center. She had been taking dance classes since she was 2 years old and never wanted to stop. Our paths first crossed as friends, as Megan had to ask a football player for their jersey to wear for their pep rally dance. Then we went to prom together and have been together ever since (Allexa, play Taylor Swift, You Belong With Me).

After high school, we both attended the University of Wisconsin. Joe continued his football journey, while Megan was a lead choreographer for the Optima Dance organization and earned a dual degree in Elementary and Special Education. Joe’s talent on the field led to him being drafted into the NFL by the Cleveland Browns, which started our adventure of moving and traveling around the country for the next seven years.

Megan taught and choreographed for various studios as we moved across the country during Joe’s NFL career, gaining experience from renowned teachers nationwide. In 2021, Megan was honored to be casted as one of six Dancely instructors out of hundreds by Clint Salter of the Dance Studio Owners Association (DSOA), a program we proudly incorporate into our preschool curriculum.

Megan has been visiting family in Colorado since she was a child, so when Joe retired, we already knew that Castle Rock would be the perfect place to start our next chapter. The idea for Schotime Dance Center began over seven years ago when we lived in Cleveland. Megan spent countless hours listening to podcasts, writing business plans, and refining her vision for the studio. While Joe found success in the NFL, his true dream was to see Megan’s dream come true once we settled down.

We finally opened our doors on November 1st, 2022. Since then, it’s been a whirlwind of growth and excitement, and we’re thrilled to have you join us. We’re so happy to welcome you into this part of our journey and can’t wait to see how our Schotime Dance Center community continues to grow and evolve with you.

Thank you for being a part of our dance family!

DANCE IS AN ARTFORM, DANCERS ARE ATHLETES

OUR VISION

Have you ever heard the age old question: is dance a sport? We have been asked that many times throughout the years. So, what’s our answer?
At Schotime Dance Center, we believe that dance is an art form. However, we are strong believers that dancers are athletes. Our vision is to shine a spotlight on athletic artistry through the movement of dance. This beautiful, enriching artform is an incredible tool to teach our athletes about body awareness, self-discipline, strength, and teamwork.

Not only that, but we have also witnessed repeatedly how dance can build character, confidence, and friendships.
Through our service of teaching dance, we strive to provide exceptional coaching and leadership to our students. Our vision is to create a community in Castle Rock where everyone can access the magic of dance.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to provide quality dance education while nurturing the development of important life skills. We believe in the teaching of proper technique and the joy of performing while encouraging dancers to build confidence and practice teamwork. At Schotime Dance Center, students of all ages and abilities can discover their passion for movement as we shine a spotlight on athletic artistry.

OUR VALUES

At Schotime Dance Center, we ask our dance community to “SCHO UP” up in our 6 Core Values: Support, Confidence, Honesty and Open-Mindedness, Understanding and Passion.

Support

For students, being supportive means being nice and respectful to your teachers and friends, making everyone feel included, and understanding that we all learn at different speeds. It’s about having a positive attitude and wanting to learn and grow together in dance class.
For parents, being supportive entails setting a positive example for their own children as well as others, and offering feedback to studio staff in a courteous and respectful manner.
For employees, being supportive is always having positive things to say about Schotime’s community to students, parents, and the outside community. It entails communicating concerns and suggestions to studio directors to enhance the experiences of students and their families.

Confidence

For students, confidence means it’s ok to try and fail. It is knowing you’re going to prepare yourself for performances. Being confident helps us improve our self esteem, something that we strive for at Schotime Dance Center.
For parents, confidence lies in the assurance that their child is both physically and emotionally secure in our classes, receiving high-quality training, and entrusting their dance journey to our care.
For employees, confidence stems from knowing that they have the support of their team every step of the way, and from approaching each class with enthusiasm, preparedness, and a consistent level of dedication regardless of its size or level.

Honesty

For students, honesty is being the best, most true version of yourself. Honesty is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.
For parents, honesty is what we value from you. We welcome and appreciate true honest feedback so we can serve our Schotime community to the best of our abilities.
For employees, honesty is being your true, authentic self while teaching. Honesty is keeping your values at the forefront of your teaching. It’s being honest with your students, who will in turn open up and trust you, creating lasting bonds.

Open-Mindedness

For students, being open-minded looks like showing up to class ready to learn. It’s working through challenges and always being willing to try new things. It’s always being friendly, inclusive and welcoming to your fellow peers.
For parents, open-mindedness involves trusting in the dance training process and embracing a spirit of inclusivity toward all members of the studio community.
For employees, open-mindedness means welcoming feedback to improve teaching, while fostering a culture of respect and openness among colleagues to enhance the studio’s educational environment.

Understanding

For students, understanding entails grasping dance technique and vocabulary while also appreciating the journey of learning and improvement. It involves being receptive to instruction and feedback, and actively working towards honing their skills.
For parents, understanding means recognizing that their child’s progress in dance requires commitment and time investment. It involves supporting their child’s journey with patience and encouragement, understanding that growth takes time and dedication.
For employees, understanding is about continually striving for professional growth and development. It involves being open to new teaching methods, seeking feedback from colleagues and mentors, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement within the studio.

Passion

For students, passion is the driving force behind their excitement for dance. It involves a deep love for the art form, expressed through dedication, perseverance, and a desire to excel. Passion fuels their motivation to push boundaries and reach new heights in their dance journey.
For parents, passion is evident in their enthusiasm and support for their child’s involvement in dance. It includes nurturing an environment where their child’s love for dance can flourish and actively participating in their dance experiences with genuine interest and encouragement.
For employees, passion is the spark that ignites their teaching and inspires their students. It involves infusing each class with energy, creativity, and enthusiasm, and sharing their love for dance in a way that inspires and motivates their students to reach their full potential.
