KKMozart Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi, I'm told that the companies that employ ballet dancers usually shut down in the summer. Just curious: What opportunities are available to dancers who want to perform professionally in July and August? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment

Does the Carlisle project still run? They used to hire summer "help" for their resident choreographers. Link to comment
