The internet makes it easier than ever for dancers to research companies, second companies, and trainee programs. All it takes is typing the name of a program into a search engine—or, more and more often, a social media platform like TikTok or Reddit. But how much focus should dancers place on what they read or hear online about a company’s culture, especially if it’s negative?

Head to the link in our bio for expert insight. 💡

2) A dancer wearing a gray velvet leotard does a sissone against a white background. Text: “When I was younger, I listened to whatever [ballet influencers] had to say, but, in hindsight, I can see that different people are biased in different ways. I like to take everything with a grain of salt because I know, in the ballet world, things can be subjective.”
—Katrina Chen, current member of Ballet Austin II
3) Text: “Connecting with people that have been in that environment is a really good way to get through the muddiness that there might be in just one opinion.”
—Stephanie Orza, trainee-program director at Ballet Idaho
4) Text: “Take all the information, but then you have to quiet the noise and listen to your intuition and say, ‘What do I feel about this? What’s my opinion? Do I think this would be a good fit for me or not?’ And then go from there, because it’s amazing to get advice, but they’re not living your life.”
—Caitlin Sloan, founder of The Brainy Ballerina, a career-coaching service by @katrinachenn
