The Second One - Starting at the Beginning

All of this blog talk is overwhelming me. I feel that if I start all of this (as in keeping up with a blog) that i will be sucked into this world that is never ending and will take over my life. I want to get my word out and express to people that i am very interested in the arts and promoting positive views of the dance world and culture. But i feel that its just an idea for a class. i want to eventually work with PR and dance once i graduate but starting a blog with a specific idea is kind of scary. I can be a very organized person but when it comes to keeping up with a blog i will be scared that i wont be posting enough information to get my name out there or i will post too much and overwhelm other people. But i will do my best and try to start from the beginning. I have been dancing for almost 16 years. When it was time for me to pick a college in state after i graduated, Columbia College was one of the only colleges i found that had an amazing dance program. Once i was accepted and given a dance scholarship, it was a done deal. I decided to attend. Once you become a dance major at Columbia College you are apart of the Columbia College Dance Company. Over the semesters that you attend you learn so many things about dance. One of the experiences that i have enjoyed is running our own dance shows. We have an executive board in the dance company where 10-12 people have their own specific roles in the company. It helps us stay organized and get our shows done in a timely manner. Since my junior year i have been the public relations coordinator for the Columbia College Dance Company. I love it. I think it is definitely one of the main reasons why i am very interested in public relations and promoting positive views about dance. I love creating the posters and press releases and getting the word out about our awesome shows that we produce. Through this business i am learning ways to work towards my final goal. Im excited to learn more and to discover more ways to get my word out there.

The First One

I'm very interested in promoting art, specifically dance. I would love to have my own personal small PR company to promote positive views of dance. But I would also love to manage or just work for a Public Relations company. And that is what I am focusing on in my business class.
