You all go to shows, concerts, clubs, etc. None of them exist without Dancers. How many Stars introduce them by name? How many audience members care? BUT, can you picture the stage or the show without them? Have you ever thought about how hard they work but little $ they make compare to others on the same stage?
Do you know that, even without injury, their careers rarely last past 30? I can hardly think of a handful that ever got rich or famous; Astaire, Gene Kelly, Baryshnykov. Can you add more names. Let's compare that to famous singers.
I'm not blogging this to make you feel guilty or sorry for dancers. Dancers Love what they do and chose their career for Passion. They wouldn't do anything else, despite the price they pay for it.
Im writing this because I want you to notice these great people and to watch carefully and to pick out the next great one on stage.
I had that experience last week. A stage full of good dancers but one moved in a special way. anyone would have noticed. I was in the presence of rare talent. But she was one of the group, no special place or solo part. Mark my words, it's coming for her. She is that good. Where was this? At a charity Benefit. She was dancing her heart out for free to help others. She was so happy doing it. She had no idea how happy she was making us.
