Thanks for this - I'm a professional ballet dancer myself and my career has been effectively put on hold for the past year. Luckily I have a job waiting for me once things begin to settle, but knowing that many other dancers have been forced into retirement is seriously disheartening.

I own a dancewear store now as I am retired from dance. It makes me sick to see all the sacrifice young dancers have made especially those who have gotten into pre professional programs just to see everything fall apart. My brother works for Cirque in Vegas. He is a construction foreman for one of their shows. He has been out of wok since this began and the Cirque shows are so expensive to run that he doesn't know when they will be up again.
