Questionnaire

I have put together a few questions and have sent them out to some friends in the industry.  I am looking forward to getting an insight in to what other dancers are thinking and I am hoping their answers will inspire me even more to carry out my inquiry on the pressures of being a professional dancer and how they affect us psychologically and physically.  Hopefully this will be a good starting point for me to carry out more research on this topic.

If any of my fellow B.A.P.P course students wish to help me out and answer these questions, I would really appreciate it :)


    1.  What do you feel is the biggest pressure you have had to face as a professional dancer?

    2.  Do you feel you are always seen fairly at an audition?
  
    3.  At an audition, have you ever felt discriminated?
   
    4.  Do you wish you could get feedback after auditions?

    5.  Have you ever felt someone has got a job over you because of the way they looked, rather   than because of their ability?

    6.  When you go to the same audition as a friend, do you see a change in their attitude towards you?

    7.   Have you ever felt disheartened or not good enough? If so, how did you overcome these feelings?

    8.  Do you find it hard supporting your career financially e.g. going to class, living costs etc?
  
    9.  Do you feel your parents have supported you throughout your training and career?

    10.  Do you feel any pressure to be successful to repay your parents for their support and financial help?

    11.  Do you like the way you look?

    12.  Have you ever suffered from depression, anxiety or an eating disorder due to your career?

    13.  Do you feel there is enough support for dancers out there and would you know where to go if you needed it?
  
    14.  Do you feel the joy of performing outweighs any negative feelings or stresses you experience?


    15.  Are you happy in the performing industry?

     If you don't feel comfortable leaving your answers in the comment box below, you could always send the filled out questionnaire to sian.turner89@gmail.com
     Thanks
