      WHAT THIS BOOK IS ABOUT

      This book tries to fill in the gaps that the average teacher might not be aware of or not able to share. We have found in our years of study, research and performing that the majority of professionals out there never get to the point in their studies where they really understand the business as it is.

      We will introduce you to 4 ideas that will work no matter whether you are a dancer, teacher or musician. Artists set the stage for the business of creativity around the world. My wish is for you to continue to share the beauty and fun of Arabic music wherever you go.  Being an artist that is relatively new is one thing but making a big name for oneself in this chosen career is another. Walid and Morwenna will share their expertise with you.

      This book will educate you, entertain you and hopefully allow you ways to grow as an artist yourself.  Use this book as a reference guide, study guide and a way of reaching out to others you run across in your travels in this wonderful business we share.

      Enjoy and be open-minded. Take it day by day one step at a time. Read the thoughts and do the exercises.  You can start anywhere depending on your experience. I like to start at the beginning and build. You can also jump around and find what just suits you but I feel you are cheating yourself. You have to be committed to anything you feel seriously about.

      The pages at the end are left bare so that you have a place to keep key notes. You should also keep a daily log book. You might decide to take longer than a month for each program. This is fine. Just stick to a schedule diligently.

      GETTING GOING

      INTRODUCTION: Daily ideas to help the new performer/instructor get over the humps that face all dancers.

      BEGINNER LEVEL 3 MONTHS

      Exert yourself to the fullest. This is the biggest step.

      Recommit at least every year or sooner. I suggest every 3 months.

      Get off the couch, get warmed up and dance.

      You need to focus on dance creativity and this first section is about that.

      Channel your wishes into action.

      Realize your creative potential.

      Be a winner, whatever that means to you.

      These tips are to help you to keep moving ahead in all aspects and phases of creative and business work.

      MONTH 1

      DANCE LIKE YOU BREATHE

        Creativity is a habit.

        The best creativity is the result of good work habits.

      Do something every day on ideas. Work on talent.

      SELL YOUR TRADE

      Pitch your work. Package your work. Sell your work.

      COMPLETE FOCUS

      Check current career thrust.  Handle one goal at a time.

      What do you need to do next?

      PROMOTE

      Self-promotion describes our willingness to make ourselves visible, heard, buzzed about, recommended and respected.

      ALL ART REQUIRES= 1) Craft  2) Selling 3) Perseverance 4) Self-Promotion ALL =PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY
