how to dance

It's never ideal to lose your job, but losing it on your birthday feels like an angsty Alanis Morissette song. Early on in our lives and careers, we hear messaging that is pushing this desire for us to find job security. The issue here, especially in the arts, job security is more of an illusion than a tangible reality.  

In this episode, Brandon share three ways to protect against and combat job loss. Although dancers traditionally move from job to job, how can we refocus our goals from job security, to job fulfillment?

Whenever we see dancers doing the things that we want to be doing, many times it is because they built the project, tour, event, or show themselves.  In the "Build it Yourself" series, I share my own projects and how I built the first iterations of them. I hope these episodes bring some clarity to the potential every dancer holds to build a career they love.

In this episode, Brandon talks about how to build your own drop in class and why now is the best time to start. From renting space, promoting, and getting paid for your class, there's a specific order he recommends to achieve success. Furthermore, Brandon talks about the mindsets and practices he holds onto to keep yourself and your students engaged and showing up week after week.

Hi, and welcome to our brand new show 'Between A Rock And A Hard Prince'! If you're listening to this then you have come to the right place for a good laugh... ANNND, you are one of the pioneers in making this show HUUUUUGE, haha!

PARENTAL GUIDANCE RECOMMENDED 

& GUIDANCE FOR OLDER PARENTS RECOMMENDED TOO ;)

Join Corinne, Nick & Ryan EVERY Tuesday & Thursday, as they talk about a whole pile of nonsense, with the distinct aim of giving each other grief, but also to give you guys, the listeners, a proper good giggle (with them and AT them).

Can you dance? We know these three can'........ T, haha! Well, they think they can.
The question posed in this episode is whether people dancing off beat realise they are doing so... or are they completely oblivious, and just living the moment. 
It's very interesting, considering the three talking about this probably couldn't dance to save themselves.

If you like the show, please follow, subscribe, share, like, and all that... and please follow the show on Instagram @betweenarockandahardprince for all sorts of other whackiness.

Please also follow our videographer @poetoflight - he's amazing, that amazing that people get married for the sole reason of using him on the day for all their photos.

One other person that deserves a shout out is @kaimere for the delicious artwork that he's done for the show... ps it's not a logo, but an avatar - don't let him catch you saying this, or he'll kick your arse just like he did to our presenters.

Thanks so much for listening, we hope you enjoy, and we hope to have you back again for a load more crazy chit chat.
