Yup. All of my dance jobs, as a dancer and now as a teacher, came through contacts in the dance world. Through people who already knew me. I did not show well in auditions, but through regular class attendance and then in performance, got more opportunities to work.
Thank you, Michael, for producing your excellent videos! The field of architecture has much the same climate for getting a job. This is true whether you’re looking for a teaching position, a job in a firm, or for finding a commission. Your astute advice is applicable to more than just ballet - which is why I so enjoy your videos.

Grim reality. As the grandparent of an aspirant I always like you closing words " Keep dancing and be the best person you can be"
