Task 1d - inquiry task

There are so many questions that I am asking myself, especially after the week I have had. The questions I have always asked myself are 
Will I work?
Will I get a job that gives me enough income to live and enjoy life?
When will I be too old to dance?

But then now the questions I am asking are 
How do dancers afford to live when they are just working part time dance jobs?
Should I go into teaching now or later?
If I volunteer in a school will that help me? 
What sort of teaching should I look to specialise in and at what age?
When will I be too old to teach?/
At what age will I be able to teach dance till?


The biggest question I have is
What is the right thing to do?

The answer I keep giving myself is
I don't know!! 
And I wish I did but then I wouldn't be able to learn from my mistakes and grow as a person!

Making decision in your life is the hardest thing because you want to make the right decisions but a lot of the time it is like living in a casino. You could be gambling everything!!

I have been doing some teaching recently with a younger group than I normally teach and I had many questions when teaching the early stages because they just seemed to be playing games. So, I was asking others teachers for ideas of games linked into dance, drama and singing.

    Hi Ruth.
    Perhaps think of things that you never would expect yourself doing? Something else in the performing arts world or something else entirely on the side? What other hobbies to you have?
    I have been debating my future for a long time. I'm still sticking to the lines of self employment and going it alone by setting up my own dance school. Scary thought at the moment, but I believe that in time things will start to come together and I wont be so afraid.

    Oh and just a quick mishap...I think you mean task 2D and not 1D. :)

    Take care

    Hi, Kim,

    Thank you.

    At least I know i'm not the only person that is constantly debating things. It is so hard to know what is right and wrong sometimes.

    I am starting to see things a little more clearer because I am getting more opportunities to do things and people have taken risks on me so there is hope.

    Thanks
