If you’ve picked up this book, you’re probably a dancer, who wants to earn an income working independently, or freelancing. The field includes but is not limited to dancers, choreographers, and performers. As a freelance dancer, you earn money from your skill set and services. You may generate stylized movement for weekly classes or social events, choreograph musicals or special events, or perform for audiences. You’ve put in many years to learn and hone your craft. You have something very good to share with people, be it your performing, your teaching ability, your choreography, or something else. Unfortunately, many of us have no idea how to turn our gift into a business. When I began, the only thing you knew about business was that people wore suits and carried briefcases. There were no business owners in my family, so I knew none of the basics. If you’re like I was, you feel lost when you think about where to start and how to get jobs.
Think of this book, then, as a road map to guide you, the freelance movement artist, onto a path of great success in two weeks. Over the past ten years, I’ve created and refined this map, which helps me effectively manage my business, explore my creative endeavors, have an active social life, and enjoy family time with my wife and kids. My five step process teaches you how to create your niche as a freelance dancer and even more important, how to generate business as a professional!
