Interviews

Fortunately, I was able to interview two dance professors at Nova, whom I take classes with. Even though I know them as my professors, through the interviews I was able to learn so much more about them and dance as a career. After interviewing both of them, I learn how different the two professors are. Erin, the person I first interviewed, really focused on the education part of dance and how important it is to have something to fall back on in case dance did not work out. Elana, however, really focused on having faith in yourself and really just doing what you love and have passion for, which is dance. I learn that having a dance career in South Florida is challanging, because the dance community is quite small down here. It is very important to be involved in organizations and other dancers in the community (networking). I also learned that even though dance as a career may not always be finacially rewarding, it is emotionall and physically rewarding. Both of my professors spoke about different organizations that they are involved with (Florida Dance Association and Florida Dance Educators Organization).
