Six Things You Did Not Know About The Life Of A Dancer

By Gwen Lowe


You should never rule out some careers these days just because they appear somewhat off stream to you. The surprising fact is that most of the ventures that people used to ignore in the past are now turning to be the most lucrative careers. It is now believed that some of the highest paid people these days use their talent. The first thing in joining dance, is understating what the life of a dancer is.

Sacrifice is the keyword in their field. Only a handful of them can be said to be talented in that trade. Even so, they have to incorporate other skills for them to become acclaimed. With so much competition and creativity-taking root in that field, no one can dare relax just because they think they are talented. For one to ever get to the levels of a professional, they must toil, sweat, and even bleed.

As if that is not enough, one has to be patient when it comes to this venture. Their life entails a lot of waiting. One sure instance is that some of them can wait for years before they get to take part in the roles they want. In other words, their lifestyles entail humility and years of waiting in practice. They learn to take the simple roles with the seriousness they would with the big ones.

There are instances where you will feel you are ripe and ready for all acclamations. To your surprise, you will get very few compliments regarding your improvement. That does not mean that people are not appreciating you. You just have to understand that it takes people quite some time before they notice change. This is another instance where danseurs are seen to exercise so much patience.

When you talk to some of the most acclaimed danseurs, they will attest to the fact that they live as though they are still new in the industry. Being ready to learn at all times is the secret in getting to the levels they desire. New dancing styles are released almost daily. If you are not willing to learn even from your most hated choreographer, then you do not have a bright future in that field.

You can imagine being in a career where you are never sure about the future. Most dance groups are supported by corporate firms. When these firms decide to fold their support, it becomes a big blow for the danseurs. Unless they get another firm on board, they cannot sustain their activities. That notwithstanding, they live as though the danger in their career does not exist.

Numerous cases have been recorded where a dancer gets on stage for a performance and leaves with a fatal injury that ends their profession. Furthermore, there are those that leave for their places only to get involved in serious car accidents. While others survive with serious injuries, others pass on.

As a professional danseur, one has to learn to accept some things. For instance, they have no capacity to choose the person hiring them, or when the person can lay them off. In addition, who likes you or hates you is beyond your control.
