Dancer takes the right steps
It is very difficult for people who work in show business to find permanent jobs. Out-of-work actors, singers and dancers often work in bars or restaurants while they are looking for work.
However, when 19-year-old Heidi Calver moved to London to build her career as a dancer, she decided not to be a waitress again. 1) I hoped to get work as a full-time dancer, but I knew that was an impossible dream! I don’t mind working in cafes and bars, but I prefer being in touch with other dancers and entertainers. I looked for jobs which are linked to show business and I was very lucky - I got a job as an evening manager for a small dance studio in north London.’
While Heidi was working for the dance studio, she learned that a lot of the teachers at the studio got their jobs through an Internet job agency for dancers. She apphed for a job with the Internet company and a week later she was part of the sales team. After only a month the manager asked her to be his personal assistant. 2) ‘It was a promotion with a pay rise, so I said ‘yes!’ immediately.’
The company is one of Britain’s largest agencies for performing artists, so Heidi is always very busy. 3) ‘I look after my boss’s diary, make his travel arrangements, answer the telephone. In fact, I don’t mind doing anything to help! I might take photographs of aspiring dancers for the website, look for twenty singers for a big London musical, find a pianist for an orchestra or help someone to write their CV.’
4) I hate being bored, so this job is perfect for me — and it keeps me close to the world of dance. I hear about dancing jobs and my boss is very good at letting me have time off — last month I did a rock video and the month before I was in a children’s TV programme.’
5) ‘I still want to make my career in dancing, but I’m happy to wait. I’m very lucky — I enjoy my job and every day is an adventure!’
