About this audiobook
This book is a general How-to about becoming a professional dancer. The term “Professional Dancer” is an all-encompassing term, used to describe individuals who are currently using dance training and dance performance to make a living. Professional dancers perform in Musical theater, on television shows, on cruise ships, in ballet companies, and many other venues of performing arts! The dance industry is a small and challenging segment of the entertainment industry, and it can be hard to navigate at times. It is our hope that this e-book gives you a glimpse into the necessary steps dancers take to perfect their art and acquire jobs!
We walk through the steps of acquiring training, reaching outside of your comfort zone, preparing for an audition, and booking a job. When reading this book, remember that there are no sure paths to success. It will take hard work, and many trials and errors. Everyone’s journey to achievement is unique, but these general guidelines will give you a rough outline or how to reach your dreams.
