career
twenty3miles asked:


I love dance with a passion that combats strongly my desire to be a visual (animation) artist.
I don’t know if I can do both, so I want to know how to get into a dance career should I decide to make that my solo.
I asked how one starts a career in dance because I have had extensive training, and am still training. I have years of dedication in older styles as well as modern, Middle Eastern and Asian dances. I dance in restaurants right now, but I was wondering if anyone had advice as to how to further my career.

I am getting help from my dance instructor/mentor, but I’m open for more ideas.

How do I make my dance resume look better?

resume
Bailey C asked:


I have been a dancer since I was 3. I trained for 15 years and then went to college and stopped for a while. Now I’m 21 and I really want to pursue dance again. I would love to go out to some big auditions in NYC but there is only one problem. My resume is not at all impressive, especially compared to the many dancers out there. I had impeccable training but I have no professional credits in theatre, film, commercial etc. What can I do to add to my resume and/or make it look more impressive? What activities can I do that look impressive/legitimate?
