HIDDEN SECRETS OF SUCCESS ⁣⁣⠀
🤫🤫🤫⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Oh, there must be something that dancer did to get invited to that event! 😈 Oh, I wish I knew that trick to make more students come to my classes.👿She must be a friend of event organizers, that’s why they invited her.👿⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
It’s much easier to explain someone’s success with a hidden secret, rather than acknowledge their work and achievements. 💁&zwj;♀️But you know, the more I talked to various guests on the podcast, the more I realized that those ‘secret strategies’ are actually very obvious, but often are just ignored.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
SO here they are, those ’secrets’ of succesfull careers👇👇👇⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
❤️Aim to become an expert: You can't be a master of absolutely everything related to dance, but you can be known and recognized as an expert in a very specific niche.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
❤️Create a network: Just being a respectful and kind human will already do the trick, but creating a network of people will serve as

AM I READY TO START?⠀
⠀
This question is one of the most common among dancers who want to start performing solo at the local gigs...⠀
And here are a couple of warnings signals indicating that you are definitely rushing:⠀
⠀
‼️You just started your belly dance training. 👉I don’t want to give any specific number of years required to reach a professional level, but if you are in your early years of training, I strongly encourage you to be objective with your dance level. As a future professional performer you have responsibilities for the audience and dance community that you are a part of. ☝️Take it seriously and, also remember that the more skilled dancer you are, the easier it will be for you to promote your services and reach the success. ⠀
⠀
‼️You’ve never done any solo performances, you’ve never experienced staying alone if front of the audience (and not just your relatives at a family party), feeling their eyes on you, and expectations that you need to hold their

She has taught and/or performed for ⭐️Cornell University and ⭐️Princeton University, ⭐️National Public Radio, ⭐️Voice of America.

Love is all we need. But love should start with love to yourself, our body, health and soul. Never forget it.⠀
⠀
👉Love means care. Taking care about our body includes taking care of what we put inside it, and not only healthy foods to fuel and restore our energy, but also some satisfying treats too. 😉❤️❤️❤️⠀
⠀
Try to guess: which of these products is my favourite treat 😁😁😁😅⠀
❇️Fresh dates⠀
❇️Coconut water⠀
❇️Avocado⠀
❇️Mozarella cheese⠀
⠀
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 And yours? 😁⠀
⠀
(P.S. I’ll share the answer in my stories later today.)

There is some sort of shame around putting these two words together: dance & money (or art & sales). 😬😬😬 And I strongly believe that this is one of the main blocks for many talented dancers on why their career is not as successful as they wish it to be. 💁&zwj;♀️⠀
⠀
There is a misconception as if treating your art as a business will destroy the nature and essence of the art itself, as if suddenly you will stop being an artist. 👉‘The true artist should be starving’ - have you heard that? 🤣🤣🤣But did you ever actually question this statement?🤔⠀
⠀
I honestly think that such belief is a very comforting excuse for many artists on not taking responsibility for ALL aspects of their work. It feels much safer to stay in the comfort zone of a dance studio, focusing only on the training element of your profession, and ignoring everything else. 💃💃💃⠀
⠀
But you don’t have to choose between art and business. 👉There IS a way on how to stay true to yourself and your

✨DANCE AS A BUSINESS✨⠀
⠀
If you want dance to be your profession, and maybe do some local gigs (restaurant/weddings/etc), it’s important to think about dance as a business not just art. Why? 🤔👉Well, an obvious answer is because you want money from it, lol. 🤣 But in reality there are two ways to get money, and there are two types of performers:⠀
☑️‘passive’ performers,⠀
☑️‘active’ performers.⠀
⠀
I can’t say there is anything wrong with any of those, but they are very different in how they approach their dance career & dreams, as well as results they get.⠀
👇👇👇⠀
⠀
Passive performers are dancers who probably invested lots of time and energy in training, but now are… simply waiting for gigs to appear. 🤷&zwj;♀️ Waiting to be discovered by clients, event organizer, for money suddenly to come. They believe that it is enough just to be a good skilled dancers. 💃They hope that their teacher or another dance friend recommend them to someone. T

A CHAPTER OF MY CAREER⠀
(important info at the end‼️) ⠀
⠀
I’ve started belly dancing in Ukraine over 16 years ago, and after a few years of training got accepted to a dance group doing community and commercial shows. 💃💃💃I had some aspirations for trying out solo gigs, but didn’t really go for it. My entire focus was on the group that felt like a real dance family. ❤️❤️❤️ #happydays⠀
⠀
In 2011 I moved to Canada to study at York University. I thought i had to have a degree in dance if I wanted to be a professional dancer. ⠀
⠀
Moving to a different country with different social environment and local mentality has opened a new world of belly dancing for me: commercial gigs for solo belly dancers. Before that I never considered even a single thought of living from restaurant or private gigs. 🤔However, seeing a huge difference in attitude to dancers and all the possibilities that existed in Toronto, got me interested at least to try.⠀
⠀
Moving fast forward, for the 5 years af
