After moving from a company with a 40-week contract to one with a 22-week contract to having no long term contracts, I have had my fair share of desperate moments. Some people hate the idea of having strip clubs in their areas. Having a back yard is not enough stimulation for most dogs. Teaching twice a week, picking up sub work, and teaching master classes is not enough for me to pay my bills. If you choose to join a gym, do yoga or aerobics, make sure you sign up for the intro classes. If you feel it is unreasonable to work 9 days in a row, make sure you have the work schedule written into the contract. Generally, I think that 2 days off a week (during rehearsal weeks) and 6 hours a day (not including warmup) is reasonable. At times, I have had 3 hours of rehearsal a day. At times, that calendar will say “No shows booked at the moment.” This means that I am either free to work or have been too busy to update that page. I have a little calendar on my website that lets people know when and where I am working (mostly in case someone wants to attend my performances, but also for employers to see my availability).

Biochemists often find themselves working in a university laboratory or government laboratory, or for a specific industry. During my 7 years at Pacific Northwest Ballet, I was rarely captured in any stunning photographs and had specific limitations to the footage I could access. One of my favorite thing about being a freelance dancer is the access I have to performance footage and photographs. Be sure to protect yourself, whether you are a dancer or an employer. The first job an employer has is to put a production onstage. When putting on a production gets stressful, a director’s first thoughts may not be about a dancer’s needs and health. Jobs in network security, for instance, will be more open to those with a security specialisation, taking a different route from those who have specialised in network infrastructure, who may be looking for set-up or maintenance type MCSE jobs. Often, when I feel panic starting to set in, I go into overdrive looking for work.

For some reason, directors tend to think that their stress and panic is more important than a dancer’s ability to rest their hard-working bodies. More often than not, though, it denotes that I don’t have any contracts signed, which also means that I have very little income coming in. I have experienced a panicked director adding an extra day of rehearsal or skipping lunch with little notice. After a period of time without any prospects, I may start to feel a little panicky. This process takes a lot of time. A lot of employers and employees who are well matched get in contact with each other this way. There are probably many great resource sites for those who want to work at home but the top three will likely provide all the information you need to get started. To ensure that you receive copies of performances, get it in writing. Be sure to read your contract completely to ensure that everything you discussed is in writing.

I struggle with getting this one into a contract. In our world of art, where financial struggle is common, unfortunately, dancers are often the first to suffer when money gets tight. If they are a senior executive and many levels above you, their LinkedIn connections might be more privately held, and you might want to first connect via email and phone. Often this might mean taking the job for all the wrong reasons and moving on soon after the start date – not a great career move! Maybe it took a normal amount of time, but, feeling panicked about how I am going to make rent for March, I start to feel like the employer isn’t interested. After all of your online efforts start paying off, even with a low-income, you’ll want to spend more time with it. But the time between contact takes a bit longer than my current comfort level.

They also charge you a one time fee(at a reasonable price) but this is necessary for the company to keep their business in operation in getting those opportunities to you. Again, know what you are getting yourself into. Just because a web site has been advertising on it or is using affiliate programs does not make them bad, so long as they are providing real help for their visitors.

I was already exhausted from performing the week before, traveled on my only day off, and performed in 2 dress rehearsals. Some companies only have one day off per week.
