Once the prime years of physical prowess have passed, retirement is inevitable, but dancers still have many years of adult life ahead. The challenge for many is making the transition into a new career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Motivated by her own career transition, author Nancy Upper interviewed former ballet dancers who made successful transitions into new careers after they stopped performing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Part 1 of the book features dancers who remained in ballet-related careers. Part 2 features four individuals who chose careers outside the field of dance. Part 3 focuses on dancers who pursued non-dance careers that help dancers and other performing artists. Appendices include the marketable qualities dancers develop as a result of their training, career transition tips, transition resources, and a graph mapping the transition process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Upper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786418192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786418190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.08w x 0.65d","brand":"Nancy Upper","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46927758000383,"sku":"9780786418190","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6d5422b2-8a64-4a2b-8fe0-fe6664c87aa9.jpg?v=1749372872","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ballet-dancers-in-career-transition-nancy-upper-9780786418190","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
