Balancing travel and dancing professionally
I’ve reached a point where I want my dance career to take me places, literally. I’ve heard that cruise ship contracts are the gold standard for dancers who want to perform while traveling. Is it really as glamorous as it sounds, or is the workload so heavy that you don’t actually get to see the ports? I’d love to hear some unfiltered opinions from those who have done it.
