Do You Know How Important Your Work Is?

Belly dance makes people happy, and that’s no small thing these days when it seems we’re bombarded with bad news every hour of the day.

We need more happy in the world!

In 1998, my husband and I moved to Maine to start a small farm and raise our children. I stopped dancing for the first time in over a decade. In 1999, my son was born. I won’t say I went into depression, as is so common with new mothers. But I was definitely “not right.” I was caring for a 4 year old, a 3 year old and an infant. Little did I know how much I needed to dance.  Fortunately, my husband knew. He saw a flyer for a class in a town near us and said “you’re going!”

I put up a little resistance, but did eventually go. And it restored my sanity. I was a better mother, a better wife and a happier person because of that class. What would have happened if that teacher hadn’t bothered to do her marketing? I never would have found her. And I *needed* to find her. I hate to think about it.

And that’s why your work is so incredibly important. Your classes are lifelines to your students who need a break from their day-to-day lives. Your performances allow people to share beauty as a “real” experience, not pixels on a screen.

That’s why you absolutely *must* get the word out into the world about your classes and workshops and performances.

Because people out there need you.

People out there need your dance.

Next week, I’m launching a brand new community for dancers like you who are serious about making a living (or even just a little extra money) with their dance. The money is important, but the impact you will have in the lives of others is even more important. People need to dance more than ever.

To celebrate this new venture, I’ve created a new video training course for you entitled “The Only 5 Things You Need to Do to Market Your Belly Dance Business.”  These are shorter videos that break all the complicated stuff down into just five things.

If you’re not a subscriber, you can sign up for the video course on the sidebar here or on the home page. Just enter your name and email address, and you’ll get the first episode right away. I hope you’ll take action on the information you learn, even if it’s just one small step. Remember, you can’t fail at marketing. You can only fail to *do* your marketing.

And somewhere out there is a person who desperately needs to find you. Please don’t let her down.
