Find Out How To Become A Professional Dancer

By Marissa Velazquez





How to become a professional dancer is a question many people are interested in. Moving your body to the music is a pleasant and relaxing activity, that allows one to express one's self and connect with other people. Not many professions give you the opportunity to be creative and in touch with yourself and that's why dancing as a way of earning a living can be a dream come true.



This kind of career is one of great difficulty though, because you have to be confident about your talent and know that your work sends a message to other people. Sometimes you will get a good feedback but sometimes you won't. And that's the challenge: to receive any reaction people have on your performance in a constructive manner. The best part is that even if there will be difficult moments, you will grow professionally and, most important, personally.



It's a difficult path, but fulfilling your potential is one of the things that make life worth living. It's up to you if you want to be a ballet dancer, tap dancer, contemporary, swing, boogie or jitterbug. The important thing is that you feel authentic while doing your thing.



Discover what rhythm is best suited for you, for a start. Maybe you're somebody that enjoys living a lot of emotions at once and enjoy that symphony or maybe you're more romantic and you like the sound to come one note at a time. Find your inner beat and then, try to communicate that to other persons, by just using your body. Maybe it's going to be surprising to see how good it feels to dance the words you can't speak.



By dancing, you will learn so much more about yourself than you've ever imagined. You will see how your mind and body are connected and how an emotion can make you and your audience live out that moment right there, during the performance. This goes for afterwards, too and probably the most important thing you can understand through your movements is the connection.



Between parts of yourself, between a part of yourself and a part of another person and between yourself as a whole and another person as a whole, they all connect. Other great things that come with dancing are meeting new and interesting people, travelling and living the life of an artist. Of course, there are things you will miss, too.



It will be important for you to maintain your figure, maybe you will travel a lot and miss your friends and family, so there will be some sacrifices. That, as they say, is part of the process. At the end of the day, the fact that you are living your dream will encourage you. And every day will be a new step, a new experience and a new reason to feel joy.



So if anyone wants to know how to become a professional dancer, the answer lays in your heart. If you feel the audience is waiting for you to revive them and to communicate new meanings, then you should dance. Dance technically, dance passionately and love your work because just by putting your heart into what you do will make you special, valuable, authentic. And maybe you will inspire other people to do the same with their work, dreams, emotions and talents, so they can live and enjoy a far better life.
