A ballet company is remarkably similar to a business company. Both have a dress code, both utilise the pirouette (some with the help of swivel chairs) and both involve lots of dancing. Although for some, this usually occurs after four hours of drinking at the pub each Friday after work.<\/p>\n

These remarkable similarities also extend to the employment structure. A ballet company and a business both use a hierarchal system based on a person\u2019s experience, skills and talent (which is why I\u2019m still employed as the toilet cleaner here at Dinamica Ballet).<\/p>\n

When a newly graduated dancer joins a ballet company, they normally begin as part of the \u201cCorps de ballet\u201d. These are the dancers that you see as the backdrop, performing in synchronization and supporting the principle dancers. In a business, this is equivalent to a Sales Representative. They\u2019re the people who read off a sales pitch after calling poor unfortunate grannies who naively answer their phone at 5pm in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s the equivalent of the other traditional hierarchal positions in a ballet company?<\/p>\n
