| Question: Dancer/Ballet question? Posted: 23 Mar 2015 08:41 AM PDT so I'm 14 and in RAD level 4 ballet and was wondering would it be a good idea to get a practice tutu? So I get used to it before the end of year ballet performance, also I really want to dance in a practice tutu to see what it's like, I have the money to buy one and it will be good for the future won't it? And I won't have to spend money on one later on for an intensive if I already have one Anyways what are your thoughts? |
| Question: Is it too late to become a professional dancer? Posted: 23 Mar 2015 08:40 AM PDT Most people have no clue what it really takes for a dance career. To be honest graded ballet is still recreational ballet training. If you were thinking a ballet you have the wrong training and your age is too old to start with the right training at 18 because you have aged out of professional level training. That is because it takes 10 years to "make a leg" in dance getting you to the age when most dancers start to retire. Regarding other dance genre if (and this is a big "if") you were born with the body, facility and musicality required for a dance career and are just an amazing total natural, it still may be slightly possible to have a dance career at your age if you get the right training too, (contingent on just how good your graded ballet training was even though we are not talking about a ballet career.) That being said, who says you have to get paid to enjoy dance? Dance careers don't pay well and they are over in a flash. Then dancers need to find a second career for the remainder which is the bulk of their lives. Dance for the Joy of Dance and dance can always be a part of your life. Here is a link to a more extensive answer I gave regarding any type of dance career https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index... |
| Question: Are there any big danceing opportunitys in Minnesota US? Posted: 22 Mar 2015 10:14 PM PDT Lyrical dance is not a professional dance genre and if you have been taking classes in a school that teaches it you were not really in professional level training. Only 10% of the best professionally trained dancers get work and only 10% of them can make a living at it. Look to get better training before looking for any big break. At this point you are not likely competitive enough. I don't know your age, but for college you should audition for a top BFA dance program. Not only is it a great way to hone your skills, it is a great way to network for future dance work. The auditions will be in ballet and modern dance. A few schools will also include jazz, but most don't. If you have strong skills in ballet and modern dance, everything else just becomes an easy choreography for a well trained classical dancer to do. In the meantime look for a school that has teachers who have had long and fruitful dance careers along with a history of producing many professional dancers directly from their training. Anything less than 15 hours a week of technique classes (not rehearsals) is considered recreational training. Look to attend top summer intensive programs as well. That is also a good way to gain possible entrance into a full time professional school as well. As auditions for summer programs are almost all but over, you may have to wait until next January to do that. |
| Question: Trying to learn dance and flexibility as a boy? Posted: 22 Mar 2015 05:06 PM PDT Here are some stretches to help you work on your splits/flexibility. I do not suggest trying to do an over-split until you can do the splits. That would be like doing an aerial before you learned to do a cartwheel. Try not to bounce when stretching, try to keep your back straight and lean into the stretch nice and slow. You don't want to rush a stretch, you may injury yourself and it's not as beneficial in the long run. For the straddle--lay on your back with your butt against the wall. Extend your legs up the wall and then let them fall into the straddle stretch gravity will help pull your legs down (you can also pull down on them to get them farther. Hold as long as you can. Repeat a few times. Also when you are doing your normal stretching in the straddle position, right before you are done stretching, lean forward into the middle and then try to pull through the stretch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MhiIL6A... (watch around the 15 sec mark for what I'm referring to) As long as you don't rush and push yourself too fast, you can really make progress fast. Make sure that you really work both sides as evenly as you can. Don't lose faith, I'm in my 30s and only got my left splits recently and they could still be cleaner, it just takes time and you can do it. |
