How to Move Towards a Career in Dance

Are you considering a career in dance? Before you decide, ask yourself these four simple questions: What are my strengths? What motivates me? Am I willing to put in the hard work necessary to overcome challenges when they arise? And am I going to have fun doing this for many years to come? Dance is not just about making beautiful art and entertainment; it takes years of blood, sweat, and tears (literally) to make your dream a reality.
