Graduates with a degree in dance customarily receive their degree as part of a normal bachelor's degree program or as a major in a fine arts degree program.  There are a host of careers for graduates deriving their degree in dance via either route, most of them interesting and demanding.  Performance centered careers for graduates with a degree in dance may be somewhat concentrated in urban areas with performance venues.  But the many other careers for graduates with a degree in dance are scattered throughout the country.  If dance is your passion and you are a graduate with a degree in dance you are half way home to establishing yourself in a career that is dance related.

Performing      Many graduates with a degree in dance began their course of study starry eyed with dreams of becoming the next diva to hit the New York Ballet.   Somewhere in their undergraduate days  many of those who eventually become graduates with a degree in dance recognize the stiffness of the competition and the scarcity of positions and opt to use their dance knowledge without ever performing again.  But others, perhaps more talented, more tenacious or just plain more stubborn decide to try their luck, at least initially in landing that performance career that they have always dreamed about.

Takeaways
  • Performance careers for graduates with a degree in dance are very competitive
  • There are many careers in dance instruction
  • Some graduates with a degree in dance concentrate in the area of dance therapy
