Hey folks,

I'm Phil and I love to dance.

Just one month ago I decided to search for a job in NYC. Lots of people keep telling me, that I'm lucky, because I'm able to start as an IT-Consultant in midtown in May. I'm actually moving to NYC in April.

However working as an IT-Consultant is not the main reason that will bring me to the city. The reason is that I want to start (hip hop) dancing in da city.

!!! These are the most important things, which I'd like you to help me with:

- getting my dancing started besides work (evening, weekend)

- trying different dance styles (not too artistic & abstract, but energetic with the possibility to transport a message & emotions)

- finding other people like me, who love to dance / a dance community, open dance spaces, online community

- transition from dance classes to a real dance education / school after 1,5 years

- finding a room in a flat share which is close to dance studios / schools and to my job in midtown (grand central) ideally in a young, creative, open-minded area

- finding possibilities to do some volunteer work on weekends & making contacts in the area of international development

- knowing all the things, which are important, but i haven't mentioned

Thanks for helping me enabling my dream!

I love dancing sooo much!

P.s.: Just in case you are interested to read my blog: Phil trying to be phenomenal

Try the group InterNations - the Community for Expatriates and Global Minds for international development contacts. They sponsor events and get-togethers about once a month. Don't know anything about hip hop -sorry! And regarding where to live - it really depends on your budget for housing.

Thank you! You seem to be pretty active

Regarding the housing my limit is $1500 for a room in a shared flat.

What do you think?
