    Dance education

    Dance studies are offered through


    the arts and humanities programs of many higher education
    institutions. Some universities offer Bachelor of Arts and
    higher academic degrees in Dance. A dance study
    curriculum may encompass a diverse range of courses and
    topics, including dance practice and performance,
    choreography, ethnochoreology, kinesiology, dance
    notation, and dance therapy. Most recently, dance and
    movement therapy has been integrated in some schools into
    math lessons for students with learning disabilities,
    emotional/behavioral disabilities and/or attention deficit
    hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).[52]

    A dancer practices in a dance studio, the primary setting for training


    in classical dance and many other styles

    Occupations
    Main article: List of dance occupations
    Professional dancers
    Professional dancers are usually employed on contract or
    for particular performances or productions. The professional
    life of a dancer is generally one of constantly changing work
    situations, strong competitive pressure and low pay.
    Consequently, professional dancers often must supplement
    their incomes to achieve financial stability. In the U.S. many
    professional dancers belong to unions (such as
    the American Guild of Musical Artists, Screen Actors
    Guild and Actors' Equity Association) that establish working
    conditions and minimum salaries for their members.
    Professional dancers must possess large amounts of
    athleticism. To lead a successful career, it is advantageous
    to be versatile in many styles of dance, have a strong
    technical background and to utilize other forms of physical
    training to remain fit and healthy.[53]
    Dance teachers
    Dance teachers typically focus on teaching dance
    performance, or coaching competitive dancers, or both.
    They typically have performance experience in the types of
    dance they teach or coach. For
    example, dancesport teachers and coaches are often
    tournament dancers or former dancesport performers.
    Dance teachers may be self-employed, or employed
    by dance schools or general education institutions with
    dance programs. Some work for university programs or
    other schools that are associated with professional classical
    dance (e.g., ballet) or modern dance companies. Others are
    employed by smaller, privately owned dance schools that
    offer dance training and performance coaching for various
    types of dance.
    Choreographers
    Choreographers are the ones that design the dancing
    movements within a dance, they are often university trained
    and are typically employed for particular projects or, more
    rarely may work on contract as the resident choreographer
    for a specific dance company.[54]
