By: GabbiG Dancers “And turn around, now shake” Ever wonder which careers involve math? There are TONS of jobs that involve math one is dance. “What does one do in dance?”Well for one thing you dance. Another part is that you show true feeling throughout the dance through your movements. A dancer does not need to attend college but, if you do go to college it would be smart to get a degree in math, music, drama, or visual arts. Another thing that a choreographer might like for you to do is attend therapy so that you can talk to someone about any problems you are having. Then your emotions will transfer better in your dancing. Math is used in dancing by dancing in a beat and keeping count in your head. You also need to know what time to move. It is important that you know how many moves in a song, so you won’t mess up. It’s important you know multiplication and division. I think the hardest thing to know is geometry. After you have those skills down you can choreograph your own dance, never the less dance in one already made. Unfortunately, a dancer’s salary is low. This is kind of a surprise for me. I picture dancers living on million dollar salaries, with multiple houses, nice ones of course, and beautiful clothes, those costumes are NOT cheap. Sometimes your happiness is worth way more than money. Did you know dance started in 1820? It was not like hip-hop, it was a nice dance called “toe dancing.” Here is an interesting fact I bet you did not know, street dancing or, hip-hop, was invented in New-York in around 1970. Did you know modern dancers dance bare-foot??? Here is a fashion statement in dance, classic Indian dancers wear bells on their ankles!Even though I don’t plan being a dancer, with all these facts I thought it would be pretty interesting to do research on this project. I hope you found it interesting too!
