Arts Abroad: Building a Sustainable International Dance Career
An online four part series for dancers who are ready to explore international opportunities with clarity and confidence.
Join the upcoming online series designed to help you stop second-guessing what it takes to build a sustainable dance career abroad.
I never imagined moving abroad but….
after a 6-month Eurotrip, I fell in love with Brussels and — 8 years ago — I moved to Belgium with nothing but a dream. No contracts. No promises. Just a vision.
Since then, I’ve seen firsthand how much more support and funding there is for artists abroad. I’ve worked with incredible theaters and received grants that helped sustain my career — opportunities that feel harder and harder to find in the U.S.
Lately, more and more creatives are asking me: “How do I do what you did?” This is why I created Arts Abroad: Building a Sustainable International Dance Career Online 4-Part Series — where we cut through the confusion with clarity, practical tools, and mentorship so you can map your vision, prepare for the realities of migration, and finally feel confident about taking your next step abroad.
You know you’re craving more opportunities as an artist, that you want to explore work abroad, access better funding, and build a sustainable career internationally, and yet…
You’re overwhelmed, indecisive, and questioning how to even start the process. Well what are you waiting for?
