The “No” That Changed My NBA Dance Career

from The Locker Room · host Amira Mourad

 In this episode, I share the story of the year I didn’t make the Phoenix Suns dance team,  and why that “no” became the best thing that could have ever happened to me. I walk you through what really happens behind the scenes of a pro dance audition, the parts no one prepares you for, and how that season of rejection led me to the Golden State Warriors, where I danced for seven seasons and eventually became an assistant coach. If you’ve ever:• made it to finals but didn’t hear your name• wondered “what am I missing?”• felt discouraged after giving everything you had• or questioned if your dream is actually for you  this episode is for you.   Connect with Amira:  Join the Masterclass: 3 Secrets to Audition Success Apply for our coaching program  Instagram: @thecultivatecode & @amirarokeach
