Dance Counsel

Dance Counsel provides advice to families on training choices during the young years, and career and higher eduction decisions as the dancer approaches a professional career.

While a dancer’s career journey may be obvious, the sequence of the paths vary with each individual dancer. Some dancers are best served by attending college before embarking on a career, while others benefit by dancing professional as trainees, apprentices or as company members before a college experience. Dance Counsel helps parents and dancers chart their personal paths.

Counseling Sessions

• A dancer is given a short questionnaire before meeting with Ms. Whitehill and the dancer's family.
• The first one hour session helps parents and the dancer understand which path will be right for their dancer.
• The second session explores how best to attain the dancer's goals.
• Later sessions help the dancer prepare for auditions and or college acceptance.

Whether a dancer decides to apply to college or a professional company, professional photographs and a clear and concise resume are essential.
