Choosing a career in dance involves weighing creative fulfillment against financial insecurity, while acknowledging the risks of injury and instability. The decision process is more about the willingness to try rather than a guarantee of success. Evaluating personal desires and fears can be useful, shifting focus from pros and cons to the types of misfortunes one prefers to avoid. This perspective emphasizes the gamble of pursuing passion versus facing regrets for not following one's dream.
Creative fulfillment on one hand, financial insecurity on the other; feeling passion about your work versus a long career timeline.
You can't decide to be a professional dancer. You only can decide to try to be a professional dancer.
This can be a more helpful way to think about the choice than weighing the pros and cons. It’s not just that you may get injured or you may succeed.
What do you most want to guarantee you don't face: injury, or the regret of not following a passion?
