I arrived home from that first convention experience in an idyllic state. A few days later, my bliss level skyrocketed when in the mail I received a 21-city contract from Joe Tremaine. What? They do this every weekend? I had no idea. Yes. Count me in.
Here’s the prayer I prayed when I relocated to Los Angeles: “I want to teach tap because that’s what I do best. I want to teach different people as often as possible. I want a class rate higher than I’d be paid teaching at a local studio.
I want to teach few hours but make the kind of money I would make working 30 hours a week teaching from studio to studio. Travel would be ideal. And the icing on the cake would be the opportunity to perform. I’d prefer to perform with other tappers, but if I must go solo, I will.”
Up to this point in my life, I’d never heard of a dance convention. But, soon enough I was teaching tap dance on Tremaine Dance Conventions. Our minds are powerful.
Your dream is yours. You summoned it, you own it, and you’re capable and worthy of accomplishing it. We become what we think about. Go there in the mind and you’ll go there in the body.
