Earning a steady paycheck by way of a creative art can
be a less than simple endeavor. Many may not realize that a career with a background
in dance can be extremely rewarding and also pay a comfortable salary. So what
are some of the career options that dancers may have?
1) Dancer
This one is obvious, however many may not realize that there are
paid opportunities for dancers and performers out there. This encompasses a
huge umbrella of options including dancing for a dance
company, theater troupe, ballet company, opera house, or
musical theater company, but it can also mean being a dancer in music
videos, at a large-scale theme park or Las Vegas installation, on a cruise
ship, and more.
2) Choreographer
If you love the beauty of dance but would rather focus on
“behind the scenes” work, being a choreographer keeps you close to the action
but removes a lot of the physical strain that working dancers face. Those who wish
to choreograph must constantly dig deep to come up with new creative ideas.
3) Dance Instructor
Similar to being a choreographer, dance instructors get to
create work for dancers to showcase. Instructors must also train dancers to
learn proper technique and help dancers work together as a cohesive unit. Dance
instructors often serve as important role models for young dancers in their
developmental years.
4) Dance or Movement Therapist
Moving your body can be an incredibly healing act and
being the facilitator of someone else’s recovery can be very rewarding.
