How a Backup Dancer Went From Restaurants to BLACKPINK Tours

By:
At 18, Sally performed as G.NA’s backup dancer at a K-pop festival in New York.
She thought it was just a fun gig.
Then she spent the next ten years running restaurants and cafés, wiping tables while she kept dancing on community teams.
Until one day, she found herself back in the K-pop world.
She went from restaurants to supporting tour logistics for artists like NCT DREAM, and eventually moved to London to manage a British boy band trained in the K-pop system.
The skills she learned in restaurants turned out to be exactly what she needed on tour.
“If you told me that at 22, I would’ve said, what are you talking about?”
Sally never planned any of this.
In this episode, she shares how it all happened, plus real advice for aspiring dancers trying to land performance gigs.
