Dancing brings joy, passion, emotion... It's no wander so many young dancers want to become a professional.

Yet what is the reality of being a dancer like?

I'm sure you've heard, it's a great deal of hard work and long hours which you dedicate your life to become a dancer.

Each dancer has a different story and path to what lead them to become a professional, but I can assure you each one will say things haven't always gone according to plan.

Why not take a look at the School of American Ballet, where many professionals once started their journey in dance -

If you got the chance to ask a professional dancer one question, what would it be?
