Adulting + Dance: Moving Beyond the Stage and why its OK (part 1)
Manage episode 363480790 series 3298965
I ran a dance careers survey last week and collected some data about peoples jobs in the dance world, and leave some insight about their experience. This episode aims to accomplish a few things:
- erase the stigma of deciding not to be a performer anymore
- explain how dance can teach us and lead us to different career paths
- explore the possibilities of being a dance professional and not a professional dancer.
There's lots of diving deep in this episode of how we live our lives as artists, and also a lot of hard data that I was able to use to base the discussion. Nerd-ing OUT and loving it!
These are the questions I asked the group:
What is your job in the dance world? (title and short description)
How long have you been doing the job?
Is this dance job your sole source of income?
What is your favorite part of your job?
Rate your enjoyment of your job from 1-5.
What is your biggest piece of advice for anyone looking to do your job?
