Dancers sometimes reference iconic eighties TV show Fame when describing their struggles to shine in dancing auditions for either classical or modern styles of dance and the blood, sweat and tears that it is obligatory for them to expend in order to master their crafts to stand out from their competitors. Pop star Madonna, herself an accomplished dancer who underwent the same process in New York before become a musical and cultural force, has since described the life of a dancer trying to make the cut as a “dog’s life”, when auditioning young dancers herself to join her on tour.As with musicals and pop singing, dance has also been heavily featured on small screens in the past few years, with various reality show contests focusing on a variety of dance styles, and with both celebrities and hopeful young dancers competing.Dancers hoping for careers in the field need to be aware that whilst the work can be highly gratifying, it can also be irregular and is physically and mentally gruelling when won.
