Dancer

My dream job:

When i was a child, i dreamed about being a dancer. Althoug it is a indoor job, i think it is wonderful, because you have to conect and have control of all your body.

A dancer could  travel a lot  if she is part of a famous dance’s company. In chile it is difficult to find an international famous company because in this country the artistics jobs are not so well seen. So, most of chilean dancer only dance in Chile.

A dancer can work in theaters, festivals, on the street, on parks, etc. They work in a lot of places but not in an office, because they are always practicing, moving, elongating or learning a choreografy.

For being a dancer, you must  study Dance at the university, like Universidad de Chile, or in an  institute, like Jose Luis Tejo Academy. There, you have to learn about the dance’s history and  anatomy because you might injure your muscles, joints and/or bones. You have to learn all dance’s styles because you have to be a dancer with all the dance’s knowledge to  be the best in the area.

I am a little disappointed of Chile, because the government doesn’t value the art. For example, this year, dance’s students of Universidad de Chile protested for good installations and more space for their presentations. They even dont have space for theoretical classes. This is unacceptable.

I hope than in a future, the artistic jobs will be value, because being an artist also demand a lot of effort.
