What is the feasibility of you pursuing the occupation(s) that appeal to you?
Economic Situation
To be frank, dance is extremely expensive, especially at the competitive level
Training, choreography, entry, and costume fees, do add up, and it is quite similar to paying for university every year
To improve this situation, I can work to be very specific in what extra opportunities I take part in
Aside from regular training, there are always additional opportunities dancers may choose to take such as extra classes, private lessons, etc. However, these do come with high costs
By being especially meticulous with choosing extra classes, I can reduce the amount of money spent on non-effective classes. In the future, this may mean not doing any extra training at all
Confidence
Confidence plays a major role in how one executes dance
When looking for continued education in dance. This confidence is demonstrates through auditions.
In these auditions, you must make yourself stand out, make an imprint, and give the judges a reason to want you.
In my situation, being an overthinker and a perfectionist, it is difficult to feel sure of myself. I often overanalyze my dancing, to the point where I feel uncomfortable watching myself on video.
A way I can overcome this is by trusting the journey, and realizing that I would not be in the position I am in without having the ability to do so. If I can’t realize this myself, I have many pillars of support to guide me, such as my family, friends, and mentors.
Academics
Since it is post secondary education that I am looking into, I must stay on top of school and my grades
Achieving high level academics can earn me scholarships, which can ultimately aid in my economic situation
One strategy i can use to ensure I do this is communicating with my guidance counselor
My guidance counsellor will always be there for me to make adjustments and aid me through difficult times. This will ensure that I have the best chance for long term success
Which of These Occupations Appeals To Me?
None of the occupations suggested especially appeal to me
I would much rather a more hands on job that involves me on my feet
The most appealing occupations for me at the moment live in the arts, mainly within dance
