GHM ON-DEMAND

“Gameplan”

Learn how to efficiently pursue a dance career while enhancing who you are.

Course Outline:

  • Pursuing a dance career doesn’t have to be a mystery you solve by yourself.

    Learn how & why setting yourself up with a proper game plan will help save you years of trying to figure things out on your own.

  • “What do people think when they hear your name?”

    From hair, makeup, wardrobe, social media, & your entire “vibe” - we’ll break down how to brand yourself in a consistent way that increases your chances of being noticed, remembered, & hired.

    Most importantly, we’ll discuss how to enhance who you are instead of changing who you are.

    Discovering your brand as a dancer often leads to discovering who you are as a person - empower yourself in dance & in life.

  • Approaching social media can be overwhelming. We’ll break down social media into “WHY”, “WHAT”, “WHEN” and “HOW”.

    Most social media advice is general (“Treat social media like a website!”).

    This lesson is specific: from thumbnails to photos to story highlights to usernames, you’ll be taking pages of notes on how to improve your social media.

    With this clear structure for how to approach social media, you can transform your relationship with it into a wonderful tool that shares your talent with the world.

  • “Do I need an agent?”

    “How do I get an agent?”

    “How do I look for work if I don’t have an agent?”

    We’ll break down what many often see as an intimidating veil that surrounds the role of the agent in the dance industry.

  • Context is key: understanding how your headshot is consumed both physically & digitally is instrumental to this conversation.

    From best practices on formatting to what energy to bring to the shot, learn the ins and outs of how to maximize your calling card.

    Good headshots are still extremely valuable even in this digital era!

  • Does the thought of “networking” make your skin crawl? You’re not alone!

    We’ll break down networking into:

    • In-Person Networking

    • Networking via Emails

    • Networking via Social Media

    This lesson ties together all of the previous lessons in a clear strategy that tells you exactly what to say, when to say it, & how to say it.

Navigate your career with confidence and a clear road map.

  • "Looking back from how I was before the intensive, to now, I have a better sense of clarity with what jobs/goals I want to accomplish for my dance career. I feel ready to put in the work & time to step into the professional dancer I'm becoming. The GHM Gameplan is very beneficial to all dancers going pro & I can't thank Galen enough."

    -Josephine K. Zarzosa, Los Angeles

  • "The first intensive I ever did with Galen, I fell in love with dance in a new way & felt so motivated to pursue my career in dance. My brother was my biggest fan & was so excited to see me do the intensive. He just passed away in 2020 & coming back to this intensive for the 3rd time it still feels as exciting, motivational, & inspiring as the first! Galen helped me yet again to believe in myself, & feel determination even after almost wanting to quit dance when he passed away. I'm grateful for experiences like this one & for people like Galen that do more than just teach about 'dance'."

    -Lyliana Beltran, Los Angeles

  • "If you have any thoughts of entering the professional dance world, take this intensive. The information you will receive is gold & you will meet like minded people. There is something magical about Galen's intensives & you will leave feeling great about yourself & more knowledgeable."

    -Barni Rothman, Los Angeles

  • "After taking the GHM Gameplan & Pro sessions, I feel much more prepared for jobs & auditions. Now I know the things I have to work on & the things I need to pay more attention to. It also showed me more about what it would be like on the job & it made me realise that this is what I love to do, I love dance in any form. I'm so grateful to walk away with so much more knowledge & inspiration to work hard & get where I want to go. This is something special Galen created, I recommend it to everyone. "

    -Charlotte Henneberke, Netherlands

  • "Galen's sessions have been the missing link to my dance career. The information I have received both at her Gameplan & Pro session is invaluable & has changed how I view the industry, social media, & myself for the better. Galen is a brilliant educator who empowers her students to think for themselves in an industry that is extremely competitive & indefinite. Galen's vast knowledge of the dance industry & how to edify each individual is not often found in dance educators & is something I am very grateful to have experienced. After both sessions I left feeling empowered, clear & confident."

    -Morgen Call, Salt Lake City

  • "This session inspired & motivated me to not give up & go after my passion. It gave me clarity whether I should continue to pursue dance. After the session, Galen encouraged us to go for our dreams & take a chance on ourselves & to not live with regrets. I am still on a high of excitement, passion, & joy to move forward!"

    -Reanna Walker, Tucsaloosa

  • "I came into my GHM Gameplan session thinking that I had my sh*t together & that I just needed a little tweaking. In reality, there was actually so much more I could have been doing & working on than I realized, & even though my session just ended yesterday, I’ve already started taking steps towards implementing the new things I learned. I’m so thankful to have had this opportunity to connect with & learn from Galen, as well as all of the other dancers in my session."

    -Sarah Juliet Shaw, New York City

  • "My decision to move towards pursuing dance as a career & in the commercial industry has been further solidified after taking the GHM Gameplan session. Galen gave so much value & practical tools that I am confident will set me up for success as I begin to navigate through the industry. There’s lots of work to be done on my part, but I’m so grateful & excited about the process. For me, it was a great reminder of what a gift it is to have dance & an inspiration to just go for it without regrets."

    -Rachel Timberlake, Raleigh

  • "As someone who is new to LA, GHM Gameplan helped me gain a better understanding of the industry here & the steps I need to take to brand myself & build relationships with choreographers. I have more clarity on key elements that I need to work on, like speaking in front of a camera & not allowing my environment to affect my authenticity. Galen is also one of the first to tell me to show my tattoos. Where I’m from, I was always told to cover them & it felt extremely liberating to be told by someone that I’m not only allowed to be who I am, but that I can be celebrated for it."
