Career Consultation
Career guidance for young ballet dancers
After years of training at a ballet school or conservatory, many young dancers find themselves asking the same questions:
- What should I do next?
- How to contact the companies?
- How do auditions work?
- How can I find opportunities?
- And how do I present myself as a professional dancer?
How I can help
Depending on your individual goals and needs, we can work on:
- Creating or improving your professional ballet CV.
-
We will go through your CV together and make sure it presents you in the best possible way. I will help you adjust it to the expectations of theatres and ballet companies and make it clear, professional and easy to read.
- Choosing the right photos and creating a professional audition portfolio.
-
We will look at which poses, angles and types of photos suit you best and highlight your strongest qualities as a dancer. I will help you choose the photos that present you most professionally for auditions and applications
- Selecting appropriate variations and preparing for auditions.
-
I will explain how auditions usually work and what you should expect, what to focus on and how to present yourself. We can also choose a suitable variation and work on it together, depending on your goals and the audition requirements
- Discovering auditions, companies, touring projects and relevant professional communities.
-
I will guide you through social media communities, groups and chats where ballet jobs, auditions and touring opportunities are shared. I can also share my experience of touring life — what to expect, how it usually works and what you should be prepared for
- Preparing for your first professional tour or production.
-
Preparing for a new tour or production can be challenging, especially when you have to learn new choreography quickly. I can help you prepare, learn and rehearse new choreography and feel more confident before you join the company or start the tour
- If additional preparation is needed, private rehearsals can be arranged separately.
-
If you want to prepare for a new tour, a new role, a leading part or simply stay in shape, I offer private and group ballet classes both online and offline in Bratislava. We can focus on whatever you need most — technique, variations, performance quality, repertoire or getting back into shape
Every dancer has a different background, goals and strengths, so the approach is always individual.
My goal is not simply to tell you where to apply. It is to help you understand the professional ballet world a little better, recognise opportunities and feel more confident taking your next step.
If you are graduating soon, have recently graduated, or simply feel unsure about what comes next, feel free to get in touch.
