PROSPEAK ABOUT TRAINING!

PROSPEAK About Training! Sampler A4D's INFO BASE KEEPS GROWING!

By Grover Dale

This segment is loaded. Dancers, choreographers, and agents alike talked to us freely about what training means to them and the impact it has on employment. Dancers across the board need to be aware that venues...from danceclubs to music videos to pop tours to Broadway to feature films to dance companies to casino nshowrooms to cruiseships...all exert their own unique set of standards during casting procedures. This tip from dance visionary, Wade Robson, is just a sample of the dozens available on the member page.

WADE ROBSON,

Host of MTV's Wade Robson Project and creative force behind Britney Spears.

"If you want to be a working dancer and land bookings, you need training. I never suggest going after just one kind of dance, like, "Oh, I'm just a popper." You be a just a popper your whole life. People don't want to see just a popper. I like well-trained dancers but I also like rawness. That's something I notice in my choices. I like dancers to have traning, but I can't stand it when they look trained...."
