What type of dancing do you do? If only the double left foot disco shuffle it may be best to save it for the crew bar but even then you may be good as a member of the cruise staff. Click here for more In all seriousness dancing is a serious business on cruise ships and is responsible for a numerous amount of repeat custom. For this reason there are numerous posts to fill:

Different dance posts Dance instructors- Often a couple. They offer complimentary dance classes and perform dances on stage as well as dance of an evening in the ball room, with each other in demonstration and with otheer passengers throughout the evening. Dance instructors are often members of the cruise staff and perform social duties as well.  Pay is on par with most cruise staff but a private extra income can be made by offering private lessons which can be lucrative. Production Dancers- There are usually 4-8 dancers in the production shows hired by a production company. Dancers are often 18-22 years of age. Even though pay is not as good as some posts it is still an ideal way to see the world and have a fun career. Dancers are usually members of the cruise staff which means additional duties (please note; these are never open to negotiation and thousands of drama queens from the past have been replaced for thinking they are too important to do cruise stff duties. Most of these duties are no real effort so get on with them and don´t be a prima donna).  Dance hosts- This often appeals to the maturer person who enjoys dancing and has more time on their hands than most. Dance hosts aren't paid directly and they have a lot of dancing to do, but they have a hugely discounted cruise with full passenger privilages. (You may have seen the satirical Movie featuring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau called "Out to Sea". The two become dance hosts in an attempt to meet rich ladies, with hilarious consequences. You can buy it on DVD at 'Amazon' here or from your own store here.)
