In this blog post, the author Ashani Mfuko demonstrates the ways in which a dancer can build wealth. She states how people are capable of having different kinds of skills other than dancing and suggests dancers to take the time to examine what their other skills and talents with the initial investment as $0. She states, “Invest the time or money that it takes to develop those skills in a way that will allow you to build wealth”. I feel that this sentence is stating the obvious, where if one invests in something that will connect to their wealth, the options will be infinite. She backs up her statement by listing out the successful dancers over time and explains how they have been investing time and money into other skills such as graphic design, video editing, blogging, image consultant and so on. These are some of the most successful dancers who have had the time and money to invest in skills as such as well as being excellent performers and dancers. However, becoming a dancer and making a career out of dance takes enormous amount of time and money, with little guarantee of being successful or making a living. It is great to hear modern ideas such as using the internet to wisely invest and gain wealth as a dancer, however this may not be the source to rely on if one is debating what to do with their dance major or their talent in dance. I feel many of the potential dancers realize the percentage of being successful with dance or building a career in dance is very low. Not all students who graduate majoring in dance turn out to be great dancers and performers. I feel that the author should include more information of who she is speaking to, who the ‘dancers’ are that she is referring to in order to make a more precise statement. She should also take the time to do some research on what kind of people became successful dancers in comparison to the people who could not achieve their dream of becoming a dancer. I feel she would have a better post if she could list out the statistics of the people who have made a career out of dance and those who have not and what they ended up to be.
