- Disneyland Parades/Live Entertainment Dancer and Performer:
Perform at long periods of time, while having to maintain energy and presence for all guests at any point of the parade. An average parade is 24 minutes but I have done 55 minute parades and shows at the resort. Which consist of non-stop dancing, performing and sometimes non-verbal acting. We learn choreo at fast paces with little rehearsal as we are expected to be professional and responsible on our own. After every performance we get choreographer notes and are expected to fix it by the next show, most Disney entertainment is always more than one show or parade.
