Simple step-by-step process to set up your crowdfunding campaign. 

Dancers Do Business 


Starting with a PS: 

I am sharing all my secrets in this course.

A few examples:

I received over £6500 in fundings to cover travel costs to train abroad as a dancer.

I created partnerships with theatres and arts organisations, raising over 40.000€ to set up international exchanges for young dancers.

I was able to raise £15000 many times around to create my own dance theatre shows, being able to pay my dancers and myself.

In other words, I understood the principles of fundings.

Then, in 2018, I made a huge life-changing decision. I wanted to go back studying. In the best most renown physical theatre school in the world... It was a private school, and I needed to move abroad. 

In other words, I needed a lot of money. I was too old to apply for a scholarship, and the usual funding organisations refuse to sponsor full-time education.

So, I crowdfunded... successfully and was able to attend one of the world most renown private theatre schools in the world!!
