Author is currently performing in beautiful Seoul, South Korea!

"This book contains advice from my personal experiences, as well as job contacts I collected over years of dancing professionally all over the world. I wrote it to both inform and inspire dancers, and it is an irreplaceable reference whether you are just starting out or you are already a professional performer. I prove, through simple business tactics that dancers don’t learn in their dance classes, that it is not as difficult as it seems to have a lasting and rewarding career. I promise that if you read my book and use the information in it, you will be successful."


 

"If you want to get somewhere, you have to know where you want to go and how to get there. Then never, never, never, give up."

Testimonials for the Dance Information Sourcebook:

"I just read your book, it's great. Thanks for my copy, and thank you for writing it. Before I read your book I had hit kind of a slump, but I sat down to read it and was re-inspired, it got me really energized to go back out there and chase my dreams, so thanks." 

~Rose O., New York City

"WOW! What an amazing book! I found all of it very interesting and I learned a lot about the business I didn't know before. It was informative and very up to date. I especially loved the contact information for different companies. Thank you for a great information guide for dancers. Every dancer should own one!" 

~Aaron H., Orlando, Fl

“The Dance Information Sourcebook gives dancers logical real-life advice about being successful as a professional dancer. The author has been through all the ins and outs of being a dancer, and her advice is honest and straightforward. I don’t know why no one ever taught us these things when I was in college for dance. It always seemed easy to get good training, but so difficult to find out really how to be a professional performer.”

~Jacy M., New York, NY

 

“I always wanted to move to New York and audition for dancing jobs, but I had always been scared. The Dance Information Sourcebook gave me the hope, confidence, and information that I needed to get started. And if living in New York doesn’t work out for me, then there is plenty of information in there about dancing in other places too. I’m sure it’s a reference that I will keep with me as long as I am a dancer.”

~Brandy Y., Austin, TX
