Abstract
The objective of this study is to understand some of the environmental, artistic and educational factors that cause dancers who have earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance to pursue careers outside of the dance industry. The study seeks to explore the experiences of individual dancers who do not utilize their college education in their current career. Exploring the experiences of these individuals is important to the field of arts administration because it may reveal necessary adjustments that could be made to strengthen the curriculum and teaching styles of dance training institutions. Additionally, it is important for arts administrators to receive general information on the challenges of pursuing a career in dance as they consider working in administrative roles for dance related organizations.
