This conference is a MUST if you've ever...

o   wondered "am I ready to become a professional."

o   dreamed about opening your own studio.

o   thought about quitting because you're just not making a living wage.

o   felt like the economy is kicking your butt, and you'd like to kick back.

o   wanted to have the extra money to buy costumes and go to workshops without feeling guilty.

o   figured there's got to be an easier way to get paying gigs.

o   been told "better keep your day job!"

o   believed you had to be a starving artist.

o   wished you could teach workshops locally or nationally.

o   felt like producing your own DVD, but didn't know where to start.

o   wondered where to find students and how to keep them coming back.

o   discussed holding a big event, but didn't know how.

o   wanted to learn how to run a successful troupe.

o   been curious about the history and heritage of our dance.

o   paid a fortune in advertising and wished you didn't have to.

o   been treated badly by another dancer protecting "her territory."

o   had a burning question and no one would give you a straight answer.

o   wished you had access to event promoters and organizers.

o   reached a point where it was too painful NOT to be a professional dancer, but were too intimidated or confused or fearful to get started.
