Business Course For Belly Dancers: Everything About Gigs
Sharing all trade secrets & tools to help you become a successful solo performer in a non-Arabic country!
37 hours | 111 classes
Learn how to transform your passion for dance into a profitable career! My name is Iana Komarnytska, and in this course I share all insights into my experience of being a full-time belly dance performer with over 200 shows per year for both Arabic and non-Arabic audiences, all without an agent or a manager, and without moving to the Middle East.
By the end of the course you will know all ins and outs of being a successful belly dance performer (where to get clients, how to promote your services, how much to charge, how to put together a great program so that people will want to hire you again). You will be able to apply your new tools right away, while you are still going through the course. I share not only theory on how it supposed to be, but real examples of what I’ve used in my practice (contracts, template answers, business card designs, and much more).
This course is for dancers who want to start dancing professionally and get paid for their performances. Whether you want to perform part-time or full-time, this course will help you build a solo dance career focusing on local gigs (weddings, restaurants, corporate events, etc). You will learn how to be your own manager, promoter, director, graphic designer, and all other roles related to the business side of belly dance.

Iana is authentic and I am reflecting on a tip someone told me about professionals... those that are truly successful will share their most important information as they feel secure and confident in their career; you are not a threat to them, you are an asset. That is my impression of Iana as far as being a teacher so far.

Finding the Iana Dance Club has been an absolute blessing! Before joining the club I was feeling stuck and unsure where to go next with my dance. Now I have direction, motivation and so much valuable material to work with. I would recommend Iana dance Club to anyone wanting to improve their dance. Having Iana work with me one on one though the VIP membership has brought attention and detailed guidance to areas in my dance that I can really improve and change. Iana has amazing experience and knowledge in belly dance and folkloric styles which shines through in her challenging, fun and motivating teaching style.
