Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The first thing would be to move out to LA. There are always auditions going on. Even if you don't get picked for one remember there are always others. If you end up doing a low paying gig don't fret. You need to focus on getting a really good agent and building your connections. It is mostly about who you know not what you know. With enough connections and experience under your belt you are sure to find a job as a back-up dancer. Just remember to keep your head up and stay focused.
