Why dance students pursue dance: studies of dance students from 1953 to 1993
Article Abstract:
A review of six studies done from 1953 to 1993 revealed dance students continue to strive solely for a performing career. Teachers need to counteract this focus on professional performing by exposing students to the rewards of teaching and other dance-related careers. Educational dance programs have increased and the field of dance has become more professionalized. Students continue to be cynical about their chances of becoming professional performers.

Dance audiences: answered and unanswered questions
Article Abstract:
Audiences are generally only studied to help the development staff of a dance company build on their popularity of the company. However audience study is also invaluable to dance scholars. While four studies have been commissioned to profile the ballet audience, perhaps non have surveyed the modern dance audience. This may be a necessary step in combating the decreasing attendance at modern dance performances.
