What Every Dancer Needs
It’s time somebody came up with a plan for professional dancers who want to dance + make a living, right?!
Drum roll, please…
I took action and created a blueprint for dancers to discover how to live a financially rewarding and artistically fulfilling career.
All my services offer training from this blueprint.
Try if you feel like:
My dreams didn’t go as planned.
I feel like my future in dance is uncertain. I'm trying to make the best decisions, but the help I receive seems vague and I feel alone.
I dance all day and work all night.
I love dance, but the routine of working all night to just barely scrape by financially is burning me out. I feel like I don't have a life.
I feel stuck teaching dance.
My friends are all starting dance studios, but I feel like my path in life is different. I just don't know how to make money.
Feeling something else? I’ve got you. Contact me here.

Kali Schmeltzer
Professional Ballet Dancer
“I needed help to navigate the professional aspect of ballet when it comes to applying for a position at a company.
Vashti helped me learn how to write and present a resume for dance companies. She showed me how to organize my videos for auditions. Vashti linked me numerous pieces of software to help me edit and compile the videos.
She also gave me great examples and templates to follow so that I could write a killer resume.
I would heavily recommend anyone to Vashti if they’re looking to apply for jobs. She knows how to help you present yourself as a valuable and professional individual.”

" After the closure of the ballet company I was working for and my sudden unemployment I needed help finding a new dance job and career advice in general."
“Vashti helped me find a new job by highly recommending me to a company that I was interested in. Thanks to her connections in the ballet world, her communication skills and her willingness to help me out I was able to start there immediately and continue my professional dance career. I also attended Vashti's virtual seminar 'How To Make A Living As A Dancer' and got a lot of helpful resources and ideas, especially what kind of online work options I have.
I would highly recommend Vashti's services to any dancer who is currently struggling to audition or to find a suitable company or job in the dance world. She has countless connections and the right communications skills to help you find a place that fits your goals and needs.”
