Performing ballerinas usually belong to a company. They take part in daily rehersals and classes. Performances are grand and very enjoyable. If you enjoy performing or only wish to consider ballet as a career for a short period of time then this is a good option.

If you can communicate well and have an intrest in teaching others the art of ballet, you should choose teaching. You can take a teaching course and learn how to pass on the technique as well as perfecting your own. You may wish to set up your own school or work for another school.

There are many other careers in dance such as:

• Dancer in a commercial theatre

• Choreographer

• Dance Notater

• Education officer

• Ballet Master/mistress
