How can I find work as a dancer / teacher / choreographer?
Your college should be able to advise you how to look for work that is suitable for your experience and skills. ‘The Dancers’ Survival Guide’, published by Dance UK, has some useful advice on presenting yourself (including writing your CV) and finding work. (See Publications page). If you want to work in musical theatre and commercial dance you will find auditions and other jobs in The Stage newspaper (published every Thurday), and through Equity’s job information service (for Equity members). Ballet companies sometimes advertise in The Stage too. You might also want to find an Agent by looking in a directory called ‘Contacts’ (ask at your library), The Stage newspaper, or by contacting Equity. If you work in independent dance The Place Dance Services has an auditions and jobs noticeboard based near the box office in The Place Theatre (17 Dukes Road, London, WC1 – nearest underground Euston or Kings Cross) which is updated weekly.
