    Reflect on your expectations and the “reality of the job” as a dance artist.

    Your Perspective

    • Maintaining motivation is a major challenge for many dance artists. Remembering why you are doing this is very important: What is your personal motivation to work as a professional dancer?
    • What do you expect to get back from the job? Being aware of your purpose, supports you to keep up your motivation: What is your intention to do this specific job?
    • Sometimes, what you want and what you need are not the same, f.ex. doing a job only for financial reasons: What is your need?
