Hi Grace
Thanks for the info. Well, about myself.... I am currently living in South Africa, and am busy studying a degree in dance at the University of Cape Town. I am also about to simultaneously start studying a journalism degree. My passion in life is dancing, but I know very little about the ongoings of the dance world outside South Africa. My dream is to become a proffessional dancer, but I am very aware that dancing is a short lived career as it is, and if one sustains an injury you can be out of a dancing career at an early age. Therefor Im am trying to equip myself now with the tools I need, to go into a dance related field other than proffessional dancing. Thus I am exploring all the options. Benesh notation was just one of those options, although after your advice I don't think Im so keen! Other areas I am looking at are becoming a dance critic - it is for this reason that I am about to begin a journalism degree along with my dance degree - Are these the right qualifications for a dance critic? And what is your opinion on this as a career? I also love choreography and hope to make it one of my 4th year majors, although I know that a career in choreography depends entirely on the standard and appeal of the works you produce. I would love to run a company, but I am very aware that is usually the ex-principal dancers that end up with these roles. Have you any suggestions of dance related careers? I am not that keen to teach although I am preparing to do my associate exam in Cecchetti. Any suggestions and advice is welcome .Whats out there dance-wise in the rest of the world?
