I have been dancing for 11 years. I am 13 years old. I want to maybe go further with my dancing ... like be in shows or something. Also, How do you get to be in a music video or something like that? LoVe, Tina
To go further with your dancing is simple. Just keep dancing. Get involved in school plays or shows and look around the community for this as well. If you can find none that cater to dancing, then propose to your school or community theater that they do a musical, in which you can star.
How do you find video opportunities? Lots of research.
How do you get in the videos? Experience & Support.
Now is the time for you to be building your portfolio. Engaging in activities now and winning awards for them will help give you credibility when you are older. You will have more than just a statement that you've been dancing since you were 2. Participate in competitions and contests and be all that you can be. Perform for birthday parties and create family videos now. This will be good documentation that you have in fact been dancing all your life. Stay focused on your dream and let your parents, peers and counselors know how much you love it. Have them look for an agent and take the proper procedures to getting you prepared and protected for this career.
This will not be easy. No dream ever is. You have to work at it. Nothing is going to come to you. You have to go for it. There will be times when you have to put in more than you get back.
You are young and as you grow older, you may find other things more interesting to do. So ask yourself this.
Are you sure this is what you want? Is it something you like to do for fun or seriously as a career? Is it worth sacrificing other teenage 'leisures'? Will you be able to balance your life, school & home, with your passion?
Can you see yourself doing this without loving it? (When you are tired to the bone and still have to perform or practice, can you do it?)

Usually people who are "big" and important in the whole music video thingys will go to some of the shows and if they think you are good enough they will talk to your dance teacher to ask if you want to audition! Or you could look online for when and where there will be auditions! [ blazincutiex54's advice column | Ask blazincutiex54 A Question ]
