You just got your first big break with a small company, but on the first performance, your dance partner neglected to catch you after he threw you in the air.

You're strutting your stuff with a couple small companies around the city, you've got a lot of fun dancer friends, and you're cool on the scene. Unfortunately, 99.9% of the time, you're dancing for free. Every time you go in to babysit those rich brats, you look around their parents' penthouse and wonder if you should've done something else with your life.

Every day of your life is pure, unadulterated joy. You're the star of an international company that wows the world with its mind-blowing techniques. Most of the time, you feel like you're walking on air, and sometimes you literally are.
