🤫 What No One Will Tell You About How to Get More Dance Gigs
Dancers ask me ALL THE TIME: “how do I get more performance opportunities?”
The question is only natural because every dancer wants their hard work and artistry to be seen and appreciated! Well here are my top three tips…
The first thing I usually need to impress upon dancers is: you CAN get performance opportunities and paying gigs. No matter your movement style or personal aesthetic, there are audiences out there who are dying to see you dance!
The second thing I stress is: you have to go out and FIND the performance opportunities you want! There is no shortcut to the boots-on-the-ground networking that needs to be done in order to get hired. But there are strategies that make marketing yourself easier, more effective, and more fun!
The third piece of advice I give is if there is a certain type of show you want to be part of that doesn’t exist yet: CREATE the show yourself! Don’t wait around for an invitation to be part of your dream show. Make your dream a reality.
As someone who has gigged a lot and produced many large-scale dance shows, I have a ton of insider tips to offer that I wish had been taught to me earlier on. I’ve got so much to say about how to get more performance opportunities that I decided to teach a Masterclass about it inside my bellydance coaching program, The Cohesion Collective.
In this workshop I’ll be giving you the very templates I have created and use for the timeline, budgeting, and crew communication that is essential for show production. I’ll be sharing my knowledge of the minimum standard rates for bellydance shows in my area to help serve as a guide for how to price your offerings. And I’ll be telling you red flags to watch out for that signal when a gig is just not worth it.
