Foot In The Door

Host: John Graham

Guests: Alex Schoendorf

Continuing our look at how dancers got their foot in the door of the industry @mrjgraham speaks with @alexschoendorf about her journey from Germany to London via LA. For dancers that move to a new country to establish themselves there are different kinds of challenges than for those who get to train and work where they grew up. Alex talks us through choices she made to further her training and how her time learning the ropes of the industry in London really paid off when she made her move to LA and why she recommends other dancers do the same. We speak about when she felt she went from working sporadically as a dancer to it being more secure with regular work and the important part personal relationships and recommendations from other dancers played in her success. She also talks about knowing what her strengths were while also recognising what other successful dancers were doing and learning from them to help her get where she wanted to be. Alex's vision for where she wanted to get to and hunger to succeed are a great example for all dancers to learn from.
