8 min - 81 ~ Ask Megan! What to do if a dancer can't get a job after training?
On each episode Megan answers YOUR questions each and every Tuesday.
My name is Maddison and I am a graduating senior who attended one of the top year round training program for the past four years. I've spent the past three months auditioning for my first professional job and have come up with nothing other than the opportunity to be a trainee in some companies. I feel as that I've already been a trainee for 4 years and my parents are refusing to continue to pay so much to have me be a trainee again with no promise of getting a job. I have heard there are a lot of layoffs and few jobs right now. Is this worse than normal and do you have any advice on my situation?Find Megan Fairchild ~

6 min - 79 ~ Ask Megan! Can a dancer go to college and still make it as a professional?
On each episode Megan answers YOUR questions each and every Tuesday.
Hi Megan, I just LOVE your show and listen every single week. I am a fairly decent dancer and think based upon my experience could potentially look for a professional job but REALLY want to go to college first. My goal is to go to a school that has a strong dance program and continue my training there. I understand that making this choice will limit me from some of the top companies but wonder ifyou know whether I am completely ruining my chances by pursuing college before professional dance? Thanks so much for your time. Ellory

5 min - 78 ~ Ask Megan! What do rehearsals look like at NCYB?
On each episode Megan answers YOUR questions each and every Tuesday.
Today’s question come from Rachel who wrote in to say:
I am curious what rehearsals look like at NYCB. Who are the players involved in group, divertissment, solo, and pas de deux rehearsals? Is a répétiteur always present, or only for choreography of certain choreographers? What is the role of ballet coaches? I see some of this from YouTube posts from NYCB, SF Ballet, Royal Ballet, etc., and would love to know more.
Love your podcast,particularly the "behind the scenes"topics. As a huge ballet fan, it's so fun to learn about all of the various things that go into a production before the curtain goes up!
- Rachel Perez
Megan loved this question and really dove in deep on this one!

Hi Megan, I don’t know if you are familiar with the tv show, So You think You Can Dance and the fact that in their new season they will be featuring young dancers ages 8-18 rather than the older more mature dancers. As a professional, what do you think about this? MaryMegan provides her thoughts from a professional Ballerina’s perspective.Find Megan Fairchild ~website/Twitter/Instagram
