12. Side Gigs I've Had as a Professional Dancer


Listen Later

It’s no secret that many dancers in the industry are underpaid and overworked. And while we’re pushing for change, the reality is that many of us will take on side gigs to support ourselves financially, especially when we’re first starting out.

I found it necessary to have a side gig during my entire professional ballet career in order to support myself. Of course, some of these gigs were better than others and eventually I fell into my dream job!

Have you ever wondered what kind of side gigs might work for a professional dancer? Tune in to this episode as I dish about the ways I supplemented my income throughout my professional dance career.
