Ok I thought I'd do a post on the different options of Ballet-Related Careers available.
Now of course there are the obvious ones like a performer or choreographer, but here's some other options that you might not have thought about...
Dance Teacher - Whether you own your own studio or work for someone else, in a school or a studio, for recreational students or pre-pros there are so many different options available for teachers
Writer - You could write be a dance journalist and write dance reviews for magazines, write features on any dance topic, or be a dance historian and write about dance history, or even write biographies for professional dancers.
Physical Therapist (Physio) - Physios normally work
with people who have had some kind of fairly serious injury and need treatment to get their bodies working properly again, eg a badly broken leg, torn ligaments, that sort of thing. You can specialise in sport physiotherapy and treat people with
sports injuries.
Benesh or other notation professional - Benesh notation is a way of writing down dances (see image below) and there are whole schools dedicated to teaching it. Not many people know Benesh, but it is very useful for dance companies to be able to write down their dances, so someone who can read and write Benesh would often come in useful. There are also some other forms of notation such as Labanotation, which also has schools dedicated to its teaching.
More coming soon...
