Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The road to becoming a professional dancer is through intensive training with top teachers who were or are, themselves, performing professionals. If your teachers never had a stage career, then they will not have the necessary expertise to deliver rigorous enough classes or provide you with the proper corrections. You can only rise as high in your dance training as your teacher managed to go. So find the very best training possible, even if that means moving to a different city.

High school aged dancers who aspire to be professional should be taking classes at least 15 hours a week in addition to rehearsals for shows. If your local studio does not continue through the summer, then attendance at summer intensives lasting at least 4 weeks long is mandatory. The schedule for such programs should offer at least 25 hours of classes a week.

Even if you have an excellent local dance studio that offers year-round training, high school aged dancers also need to gain on-going practice at participating in auditions. Not only does this give you an idea of how you measure up against other area dancers, but auditioning skills - above and beyond mere dance skills - are what it's all about in separating the top trained dancers from those who get paid to dance. Competitions can only go so far in mimicking what the stakes are at an audition if they aren't for scholarships. It's easy for judges to give out ribbons and trophies. Training to become a professional means training to compete for limited positions. Thus you need practice in auditioning for scholarships, elite summer programs and roles in dance productions.

Ultimately, you need a supportive family that is going to pay for all of that training.
