I am interested in two majors, and am looking to double major. My first major is dance and my second major is kinesiology.

The jobs that I specifically want are professional dancing and working as a Physical Therapist.

Looking for jobs in the Physical Therapy industry, there seemed to be a lot of postings dealing with clinics, rehabilitation, and part time work. For dance, there was only one and it was a coaching opportunity which was not the path I am looking at.

I want to make as many connections and help as many people as possible in these careers. No matter where they take me, I am determined to find deeper meaning than the money.

For professional dancing I would go to school for about 4 years, depending on if I get into a professional company before then. The pay range for a professional dancer is $35 k-$100k. I would like to have a doctorate in Physical Therapy so that is a decent amount of schooling. The pay range for this is $77k-$91k. Both of these jobs require movement and research while practicing.

Chemistry is a constant course within a Kinesiology degree. At the U of M, modern/contemporary dance classes are also pretty consistent throughout the degree.

I have met a lot of people who do one or the other, who do both, or who do more and there are always ups and downs within both careers. One down is definitely the time commitment and the toll it can take on your body physically and mentally. An up is being able to express yourself and your work and to reach out to other people during the process. In these careers, every day is different and you will always learn something.

Both careers definitely have writing incorporated in them. In Physical Therapy the writing seems to be based on research and how each patient comes in. There is a science behind it and writing is a huge part of that. In dance, writing is used to communicate and express our thoughts clearer. As for research, professionals may watch other pieces or talk to other dancers to learn more about any style.

Dance has always been a passion in my life as it has always been there when I needed it to make me feel somethings. I want to explore as much as possible within this degree. I got introduced to Physical Therapy by dance from injuries and curiosity from hearing about it from other dancers studying it. I would love to keep this curiosity during my studies.

A Physical Therapy degree or even a Kinesiology degree can lead to so many careers. These careers include dance therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and massage therapy which is another branch that I am interested in. From dance, you can go into marketing jobs for connections, professional dancing, instructing, pilates/yoga work, and much more. That is why these careers have me so excited because I do not have to know exactly what I want, I just have to be passionate and know my resources to get wherever I want.
