Quitting My Job as an Engineer to Pursue a Career in Dance Again

I first pursued dance full-time in 2017 and crashed and burned.

Traditionally, dancers don’t make money, and I didn’t then. The archetype of the starving artist can be hard to break.

Today, I decided to quit my job as an engineer to pursue a career in dance again.

More specifically, I’ll be working on:

1 — Building a world-class partner dance academy through The Omni Movement (shout out to my co-founders, Julie and Olivia). Want to be a part of the movement? Check out our programs -> https://www.theomnimovement.org/

2 — Providing high performance partner dance coaching through my practice, the Partner Dance Coach. If you’re interested in coaching, let’s chat -> https://calendly.com/.../partner-dance-coaching-virtual...

3 — Training every day to become the best partner dancer and teacher I can be. Follow my journey on IG -> @partnerdancecoach

This time feels different — I feel like I finally have the support system and the opportunities to make an impact without sacrificing my health in the process.

Shout-out to the life partner, Sharon, for being my base, and my coach, Michael, for giving me the tools to have be a thriving leader and coach.

Wish me luck.
