1. I get PAID to go to dance events!
Like seriously, I never thought I would attend more than one or two local events a year because the job I had before this didn’t pay well and so traveling a lot to dance was out of the question. Flights, hotels, food, etc…I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would make money off of something I loved.
2. I get to work with some of the best, most talented people in the industry for a living.
My first ever client was THE Gordon Webster | Lindy Hop Jazz Musician , who was the one who convinced me I could do this at all. Now I have people like Annie Trudeau , Patrick of Prohibition Productions | Hot Jazz and Swing Events in NYC and more as my clients, and I brush shoulders with some of the most talented dancers and musicians in the scene. Like, come on!
3. I can work from anywhere on the hours I want.
No more catering to hybrid locations and mean bosses. I work for who I want when I want. Sometimes that means on the weekends, sometimes at 4am for a gig…but it’s for something I love. Being your own boss has a LOT of challenges, but at least I’m not dependent on the whims of some corporate company that doesn’t care about me.
4. I’m learning so much every day.
Not only is social media always changing, but working with my clients has taught me so much more about jazz, black American history, dance techniques, what it means to be a steward and a leader in this world…it makes me so honored that I get to grow in my skill as an artist as I grow in my business, and learn from some of the best in the industry.
It’s not a perfect job, but I do love it. And if you love watching my content, I’d love to help you out too! DM me to learn more about my services and offerings.
