Comparing Two Careers
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to win 1st place at a competition? Or being the person who choreographed that winning dance? Becoming a dancer or dance instructor can help you lead to that accomplishment. After completing career Inventory test, two careers recommended for me are dance instructors and dancers. Dancer and dance instructors have similarities in what they do, yet have differences in how they do it. Dancers and instructors have very similar jobs. Both occupations require dance experience. In order to become a professional dancer and or a dance instructor, you need a lot of experience as a dancer or some background dance. Another way how theses jobs are similar is that they have similar working environments. Usually
dancers and instructors work in studios or theater rooms. Some instructors may travel but dancers rarely travel unless they have a performance somewhere. Dancers and instructors generally work and dance the same hours. Professional dancers can work 5-8 hours a day depending on where they dance at. Instructors can work 7-12 hours a day. Sinead from careercruising.com works 12 ½ hours a day. These careers are very similar but they do have their differences in pay, what they do, and required education. Dance instructors teaches the dances while dancers learn them. Dance instructors make up the dancer and teach it. Dancers have to learn the choreography then perform it. The second difference is the education to become one of these jobs. Dancers require less education than instructors. They only need experience as a dancer before they become a professional dancer. On the other hand, choreographers need dance experience and either a bachelor's degree or a master's degree to teach. Some instructors may need a PhD depending on where they work and who they work for. The final difference is the yearly pay. Dancers can make $16,000-$60,000 a year. Dancer instructors can make $19,000-$71,000 a year. Some jobs as a choreographer offers insurance but not all professional dancers offer it. These jobs are very similar but do have differences. I think a dance instructor would fit me the best because I like to come up with choreography. In order to become a dance instructor, you have to be a dance assistant. It is important that you are very passionate and creative when you are coming up with the choreography. Although I may experience some injuries along the way, I think this job best fits me.
