Question: How am I meant to dance 7 days a week!?
aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm only 15!. Now I won't be able to go out with my friends at all except for school holidays!.

Its this contemporary company I'm with-they're going to be the death of me, you wait!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You know you love performing!. You sound a bit burned out!. Seven days a week for how long!? If it's six weeks, you can probably handle it!. Anymore than that and if you are like me you'll be crying or yelling at home!. Everyone needs a break to reflect and rejuvenate!. A break from pressure is needed everyday!. My experience with teenagers [and I have a lot] is that they go until they exhaust themselves!. They are like kittens but with so many more responsibilities!. You are a special teenager, though!. Let someone know how you are feeling and take a long nap!. Friends are important!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That says that it is time to decide is dance going to be your life's ambition and if it is then you will have to forgo your friends and family for the art you choose as you soulmate!. You can not have two and treat both the same!. Your dancing seems to be taking up all your time and next year you will find yourself without either the dance or the friends around you so You have to decide given the shortness of time you have to appreciate either which do you think will make you happier and give yourself to that mate or find out from both what is the compromise!. It does not read like you have much of a compromise in this question!. School holidays are rare and rare between and there will be uch you might miss out on in between!. Choose well, but know that you are meant to dance your whole life long but not necessarilly for an audience or in a group!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well if it's too much for you then don't do it!. if it's something you really wanna do, you have to realize that you won't always have time for friends!. basically you have to decide what's more important to you, being in a company or hanging out with friends!. you don't have to give up dancing if you'd rather be with your friends, just take lessons once or twice a week instead!.

best of luck with whatever you chose :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I kinf of know how you feel! My dance teacher just put us on an insane rehearsal schedule for her piece in the performance, and I still have 5 other pieces to be rehearsing! I'm at it every day like you, and my social life has been completely wiped out!.

Can you handle it for however long you're on this schedule!? Is this a super-amazing opportunity that could mean you getting a job with this company in the future!? I say stick with it as long as you can, manage your time, don't cut down on sleep because you want to do more things during the day, and don't totally forget about school!. It's still important!.

Good luck, and I hope you have a break soon!
PS-What company are you with!? I wonder if I know of them!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Starting in middle school I danced 7 days a week up until my senior year!. I was in a dance company, not the best dancer, and didn't major in dance in college!. I still take classes because I love to dance!. Yeah it could sometimes be a pain but if it's what you love to do then do it! I am who I am because of my dance family that helped me grown into a strong beautiful woman!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It`s tough, but so are you!. Those friends will be nowhere in sight if you ask them to be patient with your schedule, so prepare yourself for a lonley time for now!. There will come a time when they will all be saying, ``I knew her when!.`` LUVWww@QuestionHome@Com
