Sometimes being a dancer is a thankless job, with so many struggles…
What is your biggest financial concern today as a dancer (or dance teacher/dance biz owner)?
I posed this question in a post on Instagram and Facebook yesterday, and some of the answers were heartbreaking!
Here’s why…
This breaks my heart because the answers from so many talented dancers and dance teachers consisted of things that should be normal, and easily accessible to all dance artists, but they're not.
Read a few of the answers I received below…
Question: What is your biggest financial concern today as a dancer (or dance teacher/dance biz owner)?
"Wearing myself too thin with teaching gigs and still not having money left to enjoy or for short periods of breaks!”
"Consistent work. Also finding a solution to obtain an ample amount of income to live comfortable within my craft.”
"I am having hard time to organize my expenses (rental space, video, SM, etc) I feel overwhelmed and is taking away some precious time out of my creative work. ????”
"I’m trying to demand and stay firm on my prices. I’m worth it. I’ve already proved, been validated, certified and accomplished in our Industry. I’m looking for work that pays better for shorter hours.”
To be honest, you are not asking for much.
All you ultimately want is:
- More leisure time with your family, and to simply recharge.
- More money to live comfortably, while doing what you love.
- More support, so you can focus on what you do best.
- To be paid your worth, so that you can do all of the above.
This is not an unreasonable request, by any means!
The problem is, what you’re doing now isn’t working, and it isn’t helping you create this type of lifestyle, or the financial freedom that you desire, so you feel stuck.
Well, here is how you get unstuck…

"One of the biggest changes I've experienced since joining Finance Your Dance Academy is learning to charge what I’m worth vs. what I think people can afford. I’m still working my way toward charging what I TRULY believe I’m worth, but I’m headed in the right direction. One clear sign that this strategy is working for me: I made as much $ from teaching in the first 6 months of 2019 as I did in all of 2018."
