Dance: a Worthy Career
Dance: A Worthy Career
By Patricia Robinson
Dancing is not a money-making career. In addition, it 's not a very long one. But why bother if it is not a long career? Dance is a passion career that can be successful. When someone asks a dancer why they had chosen a career in dance the most popular response they get is that the dancer have always loved it, it makes that person happy, it feels right and fulfilling, it is what they have always planned on, always work hard at it, and because there are so many career options with it. But to be successful in it you need to have the passion and dedication of dancing to pursue it. But should your career be one for money or one for love? Seriously, go out for a job that you love of course. Think about it. Is it worth doing something if you don 't love it? No, it 's not. But then, the next question is, is it worth it to have a career you hate if the money is great. But with some people the money is the number one priority. Like businessman that seems to be all that they care about with their job is money, money, money. But then what? You retire? That 's it; you 're done working for the rest of your life?
Take it from me; I am currently attending Slippery Rock University as a dance major planning on making dance my career. When it comes to midterms and finals all my friends say..."Those are not "real" exams, do something useful. Have a major you won 't flop in". They don 't understand that finals in dance actually are a lot of work. But I dance because I love it and it 's what I want to do. With dancing you could be like Martha Graham and never really stop. Dance has got to be one of the best career choices out there. It may not be performing, but there are so many second career options for a dancer once they are finished performing.
