Real-Life Decision Making
Classical ballet has always been your specialty. At a young age, you fell
in love with this art form when your parents took you to a ballet concert.
You always admired the dancers for their beautiful and elegant gestures. Even
back then, you knew you wanted to grow up to become one of them.
As the years went by, you realized that big musical productions
sought professional dancers with experience in a variety of dances. You never
did audition for any of those shows because you preferred the more conservative
performances.
However, one day after your performance, a producer notices your talents
and asks you to audition for a role with one of the world's most popular
productions. This opportunity would give you instant fame, plus a paycheck
with more digits than your telephone number.
As you rehearse for the audition, you practice for hours and hours. You
want to perfect each and every move. One day, your most trusted teacher comes
up to you and makes an unexpected suggestion.
Since this is a contemporary company, it might be seeking people who are
able to demonstrate excellence in a variety of dances; therefore, the teacher
suggests you show off some of your jazz and tap dancing skills in your performance.
You're not too crazy about the idea. You've always been very
conservative. You never did like the more contemporary style dances, and you
have always done so well in ballet. What should you do?
