What do dancers do when their dancing days are over?
It varies greatly. The dancers who were doing it temporarily while they were going to college move on to their “real” jobs when they graduate. The dancers who dance for a long time until they cannot make money dancing anymore have the most difficulty switching because they really don’t know how to do anything else. They often move to a job in the same industry that is not dancing (e.g. bartending, managing, house mom, selling dancer clothes). Some will marry just about anybody that will get them out of the business and become house wives. Some will take jobs offered by a customer.
