In Part 2 of our conversation with Fran Veyette, we dig into the realities of postgraduate training—what kind of "help" programs actually offer (and what dancers should be asking for), how long is too long to stay in a bridge program, and why some dancers move quickly into company jobs while others spin their wheels. We talk about whether dancers are truly company-ready at high school graduation, the myth (or not) of lateral moves, and the sometimes unspoken rules of getting hired. Plus: Fran's take on college vs. company, how influence really works in hiring decisions, and the most honest advice he'd give to any dancer navigating this path.

This is the real talk dancers and families need before making big decisions.
