| Job Description - Dancer
Dance is enjoyed in many forms, whether as a leisure activity or as career. It can be divided into the two main categories of theatre dancer (ballet, modern and contemporary dancer, jazz, tap and so on) and social dance (ballroom, folk dance and disco). However, there are no hard and fast divisions between the different forms. The profession of dancing consists of two main areas; performing and teaching. Choreography, notation, dance animation and dance therapy are related areas of work. Performing Many of those who wish to perform have had early training in ballet and/or other forms of theatre dance. Opportunities in ballet and contemporary companies are limited and many dancers find their first employment in companies abroad. Dancers also work in pantomimes, shows and musicals, and on cruise ships, for example Professional performers find it useful to be members of the British Actors’ Equity Association. Teaching Teachers of dance can specialise in one area of dance teaching or teach in a variety of areas. The demand for teachers is high especially as dance is now seen as a form of recreation. Teachers may work in commercial dance studios and professional dance schools in the UK, and some find work abroad. Dance Notator Notators are employed by dance companies to record their repertoire and assist choreographers and rehearsal staff in the revival of choreographic works. Most notators are graduates of vocational dance schools or ex-professional dancers as the work involves close and information observation of the choreography, the ability to demonstrate the movement accurately and the ability to work effectively with professional dancers. Dance Animateur Dance Animateurs work in the community or education in order to encourage participation or involvement and to raise the profile of dance activity locally. Their precise role is dependent on the funding organisation, and on the needs of the local community or environment in which they work. Dance Therapy Dance movement therapy uses movement and dance as a medium through which the individual can engage creatively in a process of growth and personal integration. Dance movement therapists work with individuals and groups in health, education and social service settings. Their clients include people who are emotionally disturbed or have learning difficulties and those who want to use this therapy for personal growth. Training & Qualifications Ideally, ballet students should attend a recognised residential establishment such as the Royal Ballet School from the age of 11 to 18. Means-tested financial assistance is available to those UK students who come to the school under the Music and Ballet Scheme of the DfEE. Dancers who want to become teachers must obtain the relevant qualifications, for which full-time or part-time courses are available. These generally have an entry requirement of four to five GCSEs at grade C and above. The Royal Academy of Dancing offers certificates, diplomas and degrees in classical ballet teaching. The courses are available on a part-time and full-time basis. Personal Qualities Dancers need to be hard-working, self-disciplined both physically and mentally, dedicated and determined. They must be imaginative, able to express themselves artistically and have a good sense of timing and an ear for music. Quick Search: Click on links below to go directly to your area of interest..
