Dancing into Steemit from North Dakota! My first post!

Hello everyone! I read on the "tips" page you should be honest and unique in this introduction post so here goes ... Read to the end, this is not all about dance!

About Me ~
I am a dance instructor in the styles of ballet, jazz and contemporary dance. Dance is my passion and what I am blessed to do every week with talented dancers. We all know the arts are not what you go into if you really want to make money. You REALLY have to love it to make it long term, and also be open to working MANY jobs to supplement income.

Secret Techie ~
Technology has always been interesting to me and I have done a lot of work over the years in design and online research. This is the best way for me to continue doing what I love while earning additional income. The thing I enjoy about technology is how fast it changes and all the options available. Similar to teaching dance, every day is different in the tech world.

I am also new to cryptocurrency and so far loving it. I still have a long ways to go! Crypto is what brought me here. I really like exploring this topic and hope the Steemit community will help me learn more!

Why I am Here ~
I think this site has a lot to offer, even in the dance world! I hope to share information on strength and stretch, competition, managing pressure, or gaining stage confidence. Also sharing my own techniques for design, social media and research.

I wanted to step outside the box and do something different. This is out of the box for me!

I am excited to type, leap and dance my way post by post and I hope to make some new friends here in the Steemit community.

I Am Real ~
Btw lala is just a nick name. :)

This post took me forever to create since I have been over analyzing it for hours. So it is now 12/18/17.
Please vote, reply and all that jazz if you wish. Thank you for reading!
Cheers :)

Welcome to Steemit and good luck to you in your new adventure. This is really a great community, people are here to help. If you need anything feel free to ask!

Thank you! I might take you up on that offer one of these day! Thanks for the offer and for commenting.

Welcome from a Californian turned South Dakotan and just recently became a Minnesotan......lol.....Glad to have you here

Hey there neighbor! That is one extreme to the other with weather. Hope you are enjoying Minnesota. Thank you for commenting:)

Wasn't expecting to see anyone else from the midwest let alone South Dakota on here. I live there too.

Welcome and join this steemit community even though new users but all of us new here also learn something new and can interact with others. This new community also teaches us new lessons with diverse writings and credible reliable information. Good luck and best regards @lifewithlala

Thank you for the comments! Have a great Monday:)

If crypto can connect to dance floor in North Dakota, I say its working.

This is a great comment and very true. It is working and still has so much potential to break into. I am excited to do a post on some of the challenges I have faced and what I find easy to use. Thanks for the comment!

Welcome to the community! This really is a great place to do all you mentioned above. It takes a while to get going but if you stay fairly consistent, people will find you. Don't worry overly much about your "stats". Just take some time to post things you feel like sharing and also, just as importantly, take time to read through others posts and vote and comment as you desire.

I'm new here as well (haven't done an intro yet) but I enjoy skimming around, learning new things, and meeting new people. Welcome aboard. I look forward to reading your contributions in the future, especially since my daughter seems to be taking an interest in dance....yikes! (I'll need the cryptos to pay for it....) lol

Thank you! Great advice! I don't want to leave anyone out in returning the kindness!
I have been browsing for a while. So much good info here. And yes, you will need lots of crypto! Dance is so expensive. Especially if she competes with the fees and costumes. I always say there is a place for everyone to learn this amazing art. So even if it is just a drop-in class or dancing at home, dance is for everyone.
Thanks again for the comments I really appreciate it!

I just joined here tonight too. Came here via being new to crypto as well.
The fact that you said you over analyzed this for hours made me giggle because I often sit and stare at a page and then retype parts and adjust things and then post it only to find that I misspelled something and have to edit it again anyway. I so relate to the agonizing over a post. Good luck here. I followed you.

Thank you for the follow and I just realized about the horizontal picture for thumbnail. I am not good at taking horizontal selfies lol! But now I know for future posting. I am a Steemit newbie! Good luck to you as well! I will check out your page! Need to sleep a little haha! Cheers and thanks for the reply. L

Hey! Welcome. I just started here too. My folks are from Pembina.

Thank you! My uncle lives up in Mountain at the Borg. Icelandic community there. Thanks for the comment good luck to you as well:)!

Cool! I wasn't aware there were a lot of Icelandic immigrants(from the original pre Ellis island days) here but it seems a perfect place to put you guys ;).
My folks are Dutch German(maiden name Hartje). They are still pretty prevalent around there.

Hey Laura, you just danced right into the feed of my blog @welcoming where I resteem the most promising newcomers!
Should also see a little impact on your payouts ;)
Maybe you could post about your steemit intro on your instagram? This would be a huge boost for steemit - I am sure people here would honor it!
Greets!

Thank you very much I appreciate it! Great idea! Starting to get all the posting secrets with sizing and will get better as I go:) Thank you for the resteem, just made my day and it is just starting:)!

You sure will - Maybe check out a markdown cheat sheet or a markwon tutorial. It may look hard, but after a few days you know the few important commands!
Really would love to see an instagram post referring to steemit! Be sure to post about it if you decide to do so, would love to reward that!
Greets!

I am going to look at those tutorials now! Thank you for the advice!

Welcome to Steemit, Laura. That's true not all artist gets an income from their art. To learn more about cryptocurrencies, just follow the tag and you will find some well-established authors, you can read and follow their posts to learn more. Keep sharing whatever you want to but do not forget to have a good time doing it. Steem On!

Hey Lala!
