Position:Home>Dancing> What career options are there for a dancer that is not skin and bone?


Question:I want to do something with dancing once I leave school but I have tried out for many dance schools (Including Australian Ballet) who are very picky and I'm pretty sure the only reason why I didn't get a callback was because I don't have a dancers body.

I'm not a bad dancer or anything, this year I've gained over 90% in my Tap, Jazz and Ballet exams. I got 100% in the Jazz.

If I'm being knocked back at this early stage (I'm 14) what hope will I have when I'm older? What jobs could I get to do with dancing who aren't picky with body?

I am no where fat, but I do have boobs and a very muscley body.

Thanks for any contribution you may have :)
