The Importance of Perseverance

How many times have you been told 'no'? How do you deal with rejection? How do you continue to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and carry on? This week's artist - British dancer, teacher and choreographer, Katie Kelly - tells us how she does it, and how perseverance paid off. Katie has spent years travelling around Europe auditioning for dance companies, believing that that was the most sure way to secure a sustainable career in dance. Oftentimes, she would return home feeling dejected. Yet her passion for dance remained unwavered. After stepping back from dance work to give herself some time to rest, travel and explore other options at the start of this year, dance came back to her in an amazing opportunity to teach and choreograph full time at a vocational school in Freiburg, South Germany. In this episode we talk about overcoming rejection, not giving up, and the power of letting go.
