Tips: Build Your Audacious Career Roadmap

So many dancers grow up hearing that performing is a pipe dream. But the dancers who build sustainable careers are the ones who treat their path like a profession from day one.

Here are three questions I ask every pre-professional dancer: What kind of work do you want to be doing in ten years? What skills do you need to get there? And who is already doing it that you can learn from?

A career roadmap is not a contract. It is a compass. It gives you direction when the industry gets noisy, and it reminds you that your audacity is allowed.
