STREETDANCE as a profession?
I ume street dance and hip hop are similar? There are many different options to dance professionally in this type of dance. Get yourself a professional photo - headshot and full body shot (in action would be great) and a promo video. Music videos are an option (for which you will probably need an agent, or at least sign up with a talent agency). Get together a dance team and book yourself at private events or festivals. You could also street perform. It is a specialty that is still alive in a lot of metropolitan cities. If you are in NY, check out the wharf. They also have street peforming festivals. Sign up with as many agencies as you can and make sure that you are professional when they call you (and try to always answer your phone or get an answering service) and you have a schedule that can allow you to work when needed. They will not keep calling you if you are always busy. There are also professional dance companies that specialize in that style. Seek out the dance community in your area and start asking around.
