Becoming a dancer?

May 17th, 2012

I’m 14, and I’ve always had a passion for dancing. I’ve never been able to take dance lessons because my parents couldn’t afford those high-end ones, and I always missed my chance in signing up for any other ones. The few times I danced in public were during school or dances, and my friends and people I don’t even know would ALWAYS come up to me and compliment me on my natural talent! I do beleive I have natural talent, and after fourteen years I’m starting to feel tired of being confined with dancing in my room every night, and not being able to show my talent publicly.

All I really want is some kind of plan to help me persue more of my dancing ability. It’s getting suffocating, and I am VERY dedicated to this. I’m willing to work as hard as i can.

Is 14 too old to start to become a dancer?

May 7th, 2012

Well, Im 14 almost 15 and dancing has always fascinated me. When I see people dancing on TV or live shows I’ve gone to, I think “Wow I want to do that”

The only thing is Im not expierienced at all, and I’ve never quite been able to catch on to even simple routines. Is it possible for me to become very good with classes and practice?

Mao’s Last Dancer. Li Cunxin

April 29th, 2012

Product Description
Raised in a desperately poor village during the height of China’s Cultural Revolution, Li Cunxin’s childhood revolved around the commune, his family and Chairman Mao’s Little Red Book. Until, that is, Madame Mao’s cultural delegates came in search of young peasants to study ballet at the academy in Beijing and he was thrust into a completely unfamiliar world. When a trip to Texas as part of a rare cultural exchange opened his eyes to life and love beyond China’s borders, he defected to the United States in an extraordinary and dramatic tale of Cold War intrigue. Told in his own distinctive voice, this is Li’s inspirational story of how he came to be Mao’s last dancer, and one of the world’s greatest ballet dancers.

Once A Dancer . . .: An Autobiography

April 5th, 2012

Product Description
One of George Balanchine’s greatest ballerinas, who was a principal dancer for more than twenty years with the New York City Ballet, talks about her childhood, dance career, marriage, and constant quest for emotional and physical stability.Amazon.com Review
This unusual, fascinating, and at times almost surreal autobiography chronicles the life of Allegra Kent, one of the most famous–and notorious–of Balanchine’s prima ballerinas. The most blatantly erotic of Balanchine ballets were written for her pliant and chilly dance method. This book has it all: art, dance, infidelity, sexual intrigue, histrionics, eccentric outbursts, nose jobs, philosophy, and Krishnamurti. Entirely entertaining and intriguing for both dance enthusiasts and those who don’t know a plié from a jeté.

How do you become a dancer, as a living (a sustainable living)?

February 17th, 2012

Do you join a troupe, win a competition, or do you have to get discovered? How do you get paid? Is that by contract?
I’m sort of okay at two hip-hop styles (b-girl,and boogaloo–I try), but I’m really good at rave styles (strings, liquid, 8-ball), but now I’m really thinking about trying aerial tissu (also known as aerial in ballet) and belly dance (specifically – turkish caberat). All I know is that I really love to dance and I think I would like to do it as a career. I just dont know how. How much does it pay? Is there ever any time off? I also want to stay with unique expressions like rave, aerial, and belly dance. Are there any jobs for that or is it all Hip-Hop?

How do I become a good hip hop dancer?

February 17th, 2012

I’ve always loved dancing but I’ve always sucked at it. I have absolutely no rhythm and can’t dance for life. I’m pretty sure people would die of laughter if they saw me dance. But, I love watching the people from the movies like most recently, Step Up 3 dance. I was just amazed at how awesome they were. I really want to be able to dance like that some day. I still have a chance cause I’m young (13) so I have plenty of time to practice, but how do I start on this to get to their level? Thanks!

I would like to know if it s to late for me to be a professional dancer?

February 17th, 2012

I have 21 years old and i still can t have my technics in ballet, my en dehors is soo bad, everytime i try to get on my toes, my legs and knees are keeping going in not out. What should i do? I it s one of my dream to become a dancer, a professional one.
I was dancing since i was six years old, i did 6 years of ballet, but i quit, i switched to jazz dance and modern dance. I did not like ballet, but i realized that ballet is the technic key to every dance.
I did not give ballet that much importance that is why my technic is not so good, i was not really paying attention when i wAs in ballet classes.
