So so so excited!
Word of the wise (not that I consider myself wise, I just like that phrase): It pays to go out and dance kids!
For those that don't know I recently decided to quit my "day job". A lil hostessing job a couple days a week at a restaurant in Beverly Hills. I thought, what's the point of heading all the way over here. The money isn't here and I'm missing opportunites. I decided to put my focus into dance and let the universe carry me away.
Since then, things have been coming at me from all directions. Cool jobs, meeting new people, meetings for future work, feeling inspired and energized again, and also knowing that I did the right thing. I'm a dancer! That's what I'm supposed to be doing.
In the past couple weeks, I danced at Seth MacFarlane's private party at his home, worked with two new amazing production companies, have meetings set up with the directors of two performance groups, booked a November job, worked on a TV pilot, and made many contacts in the entertainment industry. (Lining up future work as we speak.)
But....the most exciting of all is SIGNING WITH MSA agency! I was actually out at an event that I missed an important rehearsal for. I felt I had to be there. After tearing up the dance floor, a woman approached me. We talked for a bit. She asked me about my dancing, what I'm doing here, etc. Then hands me her card! A dance agent for MSA! I couldn't believe it. We set up a meeting and the papers are signed.
I feel like I'm ready to take on the world... YOU READY FOR ME?
