| Posted: 09 Apr 2015 09:50 AM PDT Most people really have no clue what it takes to become a professional dancer. It is hard for anyone to become a professional dancer even if they start at age 7 or 8 when real dance training begins and baby classes end. First you need to be born with the right body, facility and musicality for a dance career and no amount of training no matter how good it is can change those things if you aren't born with the right requirements. Then you need to train in a professional not recreational dance school that will screen you for having all of that or they won't train you. Recreational dance teachers don't have the right skills to pass on to you for a dance career as most have only had recreational training themselves. On top of that you have aged out of professional level schools at your age as a beginner and you would be a beginner. You cannot start training after high school for a performance career as that is the time you start work as a dancer or hone your skills in a top BFA dance program ( which requires minimum training and an audition to get into.) Dancers your age on track for a dance career are expected to be at a very advanced level of training. For the ballet they would expect training to completed by 16 and for contemporary or commercial dance darn close to ready at 16. Not just beginning. It takes a good ten years to "make a leg" in dance. (That would also get you almost to the age when many professional dancers start to retire.) That is ten years of taking 15-30 hours a week year round of technique classes. Most of which is in ballet even if ballet is not their career aim. I know this is not what you want to hear, but I thought you deserved to hear the truth. There are dancers who have spent their lives training at top schools who do the jobs many girls think are easy to get. For example, a girl my daughter trained with trained at the School of American Ballet full time then Juilliard then danced with the Dance Theater of Harlem before dancing back up for Prince which is what she is doing now. Another friend who graduated from Juilliard is a dancing lollipop for Katy Perry. Many who train at top schools and who were born with all the right gifts still scramble for work. Only 10% of the best trained dancers get work and only 10% of them can make a living at it. There are so few jobs in dance. That being said if you love to dance then do it recreationally. You don't have to be a professional dancer to enjoy dancing. Dance careers don't pay well anyway and 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 a Joy of Dance and dance can always be a part of your life. Find a teen beginner ballet class and get started. Ballet is where you should begin as it is the basis for most other dance techniques. |

| Question: What would you do if...? Posted: 09 Apr 2015 05:47 AM PDT I realise that this may not be the best place to post this, and this question is out of curiosity only, but here goes. If you were a ballet teacher and a student was exceptionally talented, had feet, turnout, line etc, was on scholarship, and you knew she could become a very good dancer, but she didn't seem to putting any effort in at all, what would you do? Just ignore her? Not allow her to take class but make her sit and watch? Talk to the AD? Or something else? Just curious what others think. :) |
| Question: Picking Up Dance Combos for Auditions? Posted: 08 Apr 2015 09:41 PM PDT Don't think of it as an audition! Think of it as a super fun master class. Enjoy every second of it, and let that shine. Look like you've got complete confidence and poise, even if you're losing you're mind. The way you carry yourself is 50% of what they're looking for . The other 50% is your ability. Try to find a good spot where you can see the teacher. I always liked the front row on the side. Normally there's a class before the audition/the class is the audition. During the beginning excercises try to find someone that picks up everything quickly. When you go to do the harder combos, try standing beside this person. Don't get discouraged if you fumble a bit. Remember that, despite the outcome, you still got the opportunity to take the class. As a final note, if there's enough time before the audition, try taking classes from a bunch of different teachers than normal. That'll help you get used to different teaching styles, and will help you be less stressed when you go for the audition. You'll do great :) Just don't forget to have fun! |
