PR in Dance!


My dream job when I graduate would involve being a public relations practitioner for a major dance company. I would love to be able to be around great choreographers and dancers while still being able to work for them. Since I have a background of having danced for many years, I feel I could better relate and share experiences from a dancer's perspective, as well. I was really excited when I found this article about dance PR because this is exactly what I want to be able to do. I especially like the fact that she got to work with celebrity choreographer Mia Michaels, who is from my favorite show, So You Think You Can Dance.

Tips on PR Budgets

I came across this article and found it to be very helpful, especially since our PR Administration class is in the process of working with a budget for our first upcoming event that we are trying to plan. I also liked how the author mentions what should be done when working on a budget. He also lists what should not be done. This article is a good tool to go by to make sure that as we work on the beginning budget for our event, we stay on track.
