How I Went From Full-Time Dance Teacher to Full-Time Dance Business Owner

I was teaching for about 10 years when I realized that I didn’t want to teach anymore. I remember it so vividly… The bell rings. The students come in. They go in the back and change. And my stomach is in knots! I felt so uncomfortable because for the first time I totally and completely understood that I did not want to teach dance anymore! It had nothing to do with my students. It had nothing to do with the school. It had everything to do with me. I just didn’t want to do it anymore. And in episode #193 of the Dance Boss Podcast, I dive into why. I talk about the events that led up to creating my online dance business and the internal and external difficulties I faced. I also talk: How I transitioned from running a high school dance program for 15ish years to working for myself and running an online dance business.  The biggest lessons learned as I began exploring what else I could do with my life.  The core values I acquired on my journey of realizing I no longer wanted to teach dance, not knowing what else I could do, and leaving my full-time job and working for myself.
