How do you become a professional dancer?
Q. To hip hop dancers, ballet dancers, any dancers, How did you become a dancer? While I am not planning to be a dancer, I am very interested to know how you become a professional. Like, what are the good dancing schools, how many years does training take, when did you start dancing, and so on. Also, what kind of career opportunities do different types of dancers have? If you are a professional dancer, or even if you are not, please post an answer. :) Not that kind of dance. Thank you for your answers. :) However, I would appreciate if more people posted their opinion on how many years of training is reasonable/typical and what kind of career opportunies are available. I did check out So You Think You Can Dance and Dancers 4 Answers.… [cont.]

A. The biggest thing is to practice as much as possible and get yourself out there. Taking classes in various types of dance is important to find what you are good at and gain skill. But after that, a lot of it has to do with natural skill (not everyone can be a dancer) and motivation. It is a lot of hard work, as you spend hours practicing and have to regularly audition (to get your name out there and start performing). While I was trained in various dance forms, I currently choreograph and so I tend to make new moves and use different styles in my work, and I don't always use classically trained dancers because sometimes the best dancers are those who have the natural talent and had the motivation to learn on their own and keep trying.

The dancer is standing still on one leg. What is the x component of the friction force?
Q. A dancer is standing on one leg on a drawbridge that is about to open. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the drawbridge and the dancer's foot are u(s) and u(k), respectively. N represents the normal force exerted on the dancer by the bridge, and Fg represents the gravitational force exerted on the dancer. Assume that the bridge is a perfectly flat surface and lacks the curvature characteristic of most bridges.

How much ballet should a dancer take to effectively branch out into other genres?
Q. This is a general question for all dancers, not just for professional ballet dancers. How much ballet training is sufficient for a dancer to have "technique" and effectively acquire and excel at other styles of dance? I know barre and centerwork are ubiquitous even at the professional ranks, but I'm referring to before that.

A. Well honestly, you should never stop taking ballet. Ballet is the center of all that is dance. It helps with a lot of other styles and techniques. Like tap for instance, you need ballet! Pretty much anywhere you go, dance instructors will tell you that. Best of luck!

What are the requirements to be a professional dancer?
Q. And where can you go to be certified as a professional dancer?
Asked by adictedto24 - Mon Apr 14 15:46:53 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. What employers usually look for is flexibility, good feet, strength, technique, balance, stage presence (do they notice you/do you stand out), and musciality. They also look at your individual style and if it will work with their choreography and the entire show they are working on. The definition of a professional dancer is that you are getting hired and paid to dance. This could mean individual gigs or being part of a company. You can't get certified as one. It takes YEARS to get good enough to go pro, and even if you have the technique, feet, and flexibility doesn't mean you have the presence and originality to get jobs. Many people never make it in the dance world because it's so competitive.

A. There are essentially two routes to becoming a professional dancer, given that there are two sides to the dance industry. There's the classically trained, ballet-based, route that opens the most doors for professional employment, but especially in the concert dance/ non-profit sector of the dance industry. That sector of the (American) dance industry is concentrated in New York City and fans out from there.

How many calories should a ballet dancer eat?
Q. What is a good weight for a dancer who is 66" tall? How many calories should I take in daily? Please help!
Asked by i_live_ballet - Tue Jul 22 13:32:11 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I'm that exact height, and I weigh 106 lbs, and dance about 5 hours a week. I went online and found out that I should be consuming about 1700 calories a day. But I want to lose weight, so I'm eating less than that. I suggest going on to mypyramind.gov there's a place on that site where you can enter all the food you eat in a day (pre-packaged or not), and it tells you how many calories you consumed.
