Companies can afford to replace older dancers earlier than in the past because there are now so many talented and eager young dancers available. She hasn't yet given much thought to what she might do after her dance career is finished. After 30, you can still do guest performances with smaller companies, and, of course, I'll continue to dance for fun and fitness. But, I really don't know what I'll do professionally. I like math and have done well in that subject in school, so I might structure a career around that.
Sports medicine is also a possibility.
She's recently fallen in love with that health specialty. She enrolled in an Orange Coast College sports medicine class at the beginning of the fall semester, in August. I needed a couple of electives to graduate, so I began to look around for classes that interested me. I saw 'Sports Medicine' listed in the schedule and decided to enroll. So, I enrolled in them, as well.
