N2  - "The average length of a professional dancer's career is 10 to 15 years. As with professional athletes, once the prime years of physical prowess have passed, retirement is inevitable - yet there are still many years of adult life ahead. Making the transition to a new career is challenging." "Motivated by her own career transition, the author interviewed former ballet dancers who have successfully moved into new careers after they stopped performing."--BOOK JACKET
