Budgeting Basics for Dancers


Did you know that 50% of dancers will actually earn $16.31 or less per hour, or that many dancers are making less than minimum wage or not getting paid at all? (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2018)

If you'd like dancing to finance your living expenses sustainably while achieving your financial goals, you need to be proactive with budgeting your money!

Through this 2-hour workshop, Antuan has helped dancers around the US get on top of their finances by creating systems that work uniquely with the fluctuating and unpredictable incomes associated with a dancing career.

 

What We'll Learn:

☝🏾 All the tricky budgeting terminology.

Don’t let access to financial education continue to be a barrier that keeps you from reaching your financial goals!

✌🏾 The fundamentals of setting up a budget.

We’ll even create a mock budget to see how all the moving parts work together, even when things go as unplanned.

👌🏾 All the programs and apps you need to simplify your budget.

You’ll leave equipped with the tools to start managing your money (instead of your money managing you.)

Social Media and Branding Basics for Dancers


Why is it important to increase your presence on social media, specifically Instagram? Aside from boosting your brand awareness, social media is a gold mine of potential clients!

Be it through partnerships, collaborations, or being a brand ambassador, monetization opportunities via social media campaigns are limitless!

As a social media strategist himself, Antuan has cultivated brand partnerships with ASICS, Barney’s NY, Capezio, and Jaguar. And he is ready to share his knowledge on social media marketing with all dancers out there through a 2-hour workshop.

 

What We'll Learn:

☝🏾 Curating the content that aligns with your brand.

Your social media is a reflection of your personal brand, and your posts should go along with it.

✌🏾 Targeting the right audience.

Who is your "ideal audience?" A targeted audience member leads to consistent bookings for photoshoots, performances, and teaching opportunities.

👌🏾 Monetizing efficiently.

It takes a lot of effort to create content and build a personal brand, so it's essential to learn different ways to earn money through social media.

 

What the students say…

It’s so hard to determine what to charge/ask as a freelancer and your worksheet really helped me out. I also appreciated how the budgeting section was a collaborative effort amongst all of us and that you did it live!

All of that resources were wonderful & helpful.

This class was absolutely incredible... so insightful and just what I needed.

I took so many notes too! I am so glad you are talking about this stuff because a lot of people aren’t.
