Thread: When persistence and hard work pays off

Ok, so I admit this thread is to brag a little, but mainly to let anyone who is feeling discouraged know that (as the thread is named) persistence and hard work DOES pay off! In a town with no dance opportunities, it took me 5 years and lots of rejection, but I finally found a regular, paid gig for myself and opened the door for all local dancers! We now have several local haflas, a full stage production, and a pretty awesome ME dance community.

As a side note, never take an opportunity for granted and NEVER EVER underestimate people. For this new restaurant gig, I was a little hesitant to perform in my city since it's very conservative and pretty religious. Judging on past experience, I was expecting a lackluster crowd and little to no tips. To my surprise, the gig was awesome! The crowd was amazing, the staff loved it, and I made a record number of tips.

In the end, if I would have followed my feeling on what I thought this experience would end up like, this opportunity would never have happened. It's a huge benchmark in our city and I hope dancers after me take a leap of faith as I did. Never give up!

Mega KUDOS! there babe...
Thank you for posting, I have kind of been discouraged of late
(you just raised my spirits enough to keep slogging ahead)

Hard work and persistence does pay off! Congratulations!

Banding together to work with other dancers is another good tech--several people together who share a passion can form a collective to share the load to take on things like approaching a venue, putting together shows, etc. I've been involved with a local organization for over 14 years and have seen amazing things come out of it.

I was hoping this thread would help inspire someone! I've had my share of "why am I still trying" days, but in the end, something always happens that reminds me. Best of luck to you!
