2. PRACTICE & PERSEVERATION – This is very true, practice makes perfect. It also meant that in order to build experience the school must participate in competitions and performances.


3. You need to follow either an academic route by taking up a degree programme in dance such as B.A. in Dance or Certification programmes accredited in schools/ colleges by institutions like Sangeet Natak Akademi.


4. Promotion- Attend the workshops, create a picture of the audience, find other dancers to work with and perform shows with.

Yes, you are eligible to appear for the UGC NET (National Eligibility Test) in Dance. The UGC NET is a national-level examination conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on behalf of the University Grants Commission (UGC) for determining the eligibility of candidates for the posts of Assistant Professor and for the award of Junior Research Fellowship (JRF).

To be eligible for the UGC NET in Dance, you must fulfill the following criteria:

1. Educational Qualifications: You should have completed a Master's degree or equivalent in Dance or a related discipline from a recognised university with a minimum of 55% aggregate marks (50% for reserved categories).

It is important to note that the UGC NET exam is subject to specific eligibility criteria and guidelines set by the conducting authority.
