Great dancers are also patient learners. They understand that it takes time and effort to develop and refine their skills. It’s easy to be frustrated when the moves don’t come easily, but it can take months to get the fundamentals down. Enthusiasm is also essential; dancers who have this quality look forward to lessons and practicing and share the love with others. They take instruction from teachers and choreographers, practice, keep their bodies fit, and give it their very best when on stage. The primary responsibilities of a dancer include being on time for meetings and attending costume fittings, rehearsals and performances.
