Part 1: Tips for using TikTok’s platform for dancers

Hello everyone! I hope you all doing well and feeling well! Today is the day we start a quick little series which will include all social media platforms and go in depth talking about helpful tips I use to market yourself as well as how to showcase you best work.

TikTok has increased so much in popularity over the years. I believe since 2022 TikTok has grown in popularity and has overruled Instagram and therefore TikTok can be an awesome platform for dancers.

Here’s why:

TikTok has 1 billion active users – as the users grow, that gives you as the creator more people to reach. Use this as an advantage.

TikTok has features that can set the bar higher for the videos you create– there are sound effects, voice over, filters, and many more to enhance your videos and therefore will grow the audience you are trying to reach.

TikTok’s users are drawn to videos that captivate their attention within 10 seconds– dancers can create short or longer videos and that’s what draws in the audiences attention. This is also an advantage because dancers can create so many different videos in the same topic.

TikTok allows you to truly be yourself and the audience will adapt and engage more- I feel like TikTok users are less likely to feel a certain type of ways for the videos created, there are so many people and they truly do not care and just enjoy watching comedic videos and relatable videos. Creating these videos are such a great way to also engage with your audience and dancers can be themselves no matter what.
