Best state to work as a professional dancer?

Many would argue that it is best to go to California or New York to acheive success as a professional dancer. As a former dancer, I agree that New York and California are great places to go to attempt to achieve fame as there are many very popular dance companies in cities like LA and NYC, and let's not forget Broadway, however sometimes it is easier to join a dance company in a more urban state or a local dance company. Only the best of the best can make it in the large cities since so many people go there to try to make it big, however if you are happy dancing and don't expect riches or fame, you can join a dance company in just about any state and be fine. The hardest part is actually getting the part.

But as far as paychecks and recognition go, New York is the place to be a dancer, if you have the moves to make it in.

Is the Met the largest stage in the world?

It depends on how one defines Stage and Stagecraft, Huge spectacles have been presented in sports stadiums and arenas such as Madison Square Garden, consider the upcoming walking with Dinosaurs, and of course Barnum & Baileys circus. The Ringling Bros show has been presented in the Garden since l968 ( I saw it there in that year and some acts such as the human cannonball could not be shown) it actually suffered a bit in the huge backdrop.) According to Guiness the largest stages used primarily for dramatic purposes are in some hotel-night clubs in Las Vegas and have huge elevators, and other special effects. The Metropolitan Opera is not listed in this category nor is the Radio City Music Hall. The again stadiums have been used to produce large-scale drama a tradition dating to Greek times. I have never heard this laud applied to the Met, I presume you mean the current Metropolitan Opera in the Lincoln Center complex, not the older one, now defunct.

The largest theatre stage in the world is located in Melbourne Australia, the State Theatre in the Victorian Arts Centre, which plays host to Opera Australia and The Australian Ballet.
