Brooklyn, NY
Female, 25
I am a professional NYC contemporary/modern dancer. I work freelance, dancing in various projects around NYC. It ranges from performance art, flash mobs, and various styles of modern/contemporary dance. It's tough, I hustle everyday. I also bartend to pay the bills and work at a dance studio for discounted classes. It's a struggle, between auditions, classes, and maintaining artistic integrity. But I love my life.
None

The cops usually don't break them up. The people putting kn the flash mobs usually have to get a special permit from the city, I'm sure they also have permission from the nypd.

It depends. The dance community is very large. But very small. When I go to auditions sometimes I run into the same girls time and time again. I think that the younger the dancer, the more immature they are. Generally the catty ones are younger dancers who just graduated college, were the star of their department and moved to NYC thinking they could keep their diva status. Nothing knocks you harder off your pedestal than auditioning in NYC. There's always someone better than you. I don't notice the cattiness, I also avoid those kind of situations. Most dancers look out for each other I think. We kind of band together and create a unit. I used to be a camp counselor at a performing arts camp for teens, the dancers stuck together and didn't really get involved in the drama like the acting kids or the musical theater kids.

I don't really understand this question, but I will do my best. I'm assuming you are having trouble moving your hips because they are tight? Stretch. Stretch. Stretch! Since it would be difficult for me to explain stretches in detail here. Go online and search for stretches for your Iliopsoas (front of the hip crease) and your Iliotibial bands.

Um...no...I don't look for auditions on craigslist.

I have no idea. I don't know how to answer that, perhaps a geneticist has a jobstr page and you can ask them. I know plenty of white people who can dance...so...
