It is not all plain sailing so you need to keep on taking action. If you get hooked with enough good agents then you can find that auditions keep coming on a regular basis.

So if you get accepted on one, assuming that you have not signed up for exlcusive representation you should keep on auditioning for other agencies as well throughout your dance career.

                         

If you want security as a dancer, then a job where you get a longer contract may be what you are looking for.

These typically tend to be offered to dancers in areas such as dancing on cruise ships, musical theatre, touring shows and other productions that last for an extended period of time.

These will often tie you up for a stated period of time, for example for a 1 year contract. Over this time you can expect to receive a regular salary and as such won't need to keep on looking for jobs and auditions to stay afloat.

Other areas such as music videos often only last for a few days, perhaps even a day. They do tend to pay well though you will need to book quite a lot of these into to make it into a liveable income.

Those that book these big jobs on a regular basis can expect to receive an income above the average dancer.

                         

There are also other things that you should do to increase the likelihood of booking these dance jobs.

One thing you should always be doing is training in some way or manner. Keep on attending dance classes and seeing where you can improve your dancing.

For some people this is actually where they need to do more work. They don't need to send more CV's to agencies, but they need to improve just that little bit more to give them the edge at auditions.

Another thing you should do is keep your photos updated and get new ones from time to time, especially if you change your look a lot!

Get feedback from your dance teachers to see where you can improve and work at it. Every little thing counts. And don't forget to enjoy the ride along the way!
