    Cruise Ship Work - A Dancer's Perspective

    This is the last part in our 3-part series on Cruise Ship Work. This episode focuses on how to get a cruise ship dancer gig, and dancers' perspective on the job.  I interview Mitchell Thomas McCrone and Alexandra Cooney from backstage onboard. We talk about how to get a gig as a cruise ship dancer, what a typical day is like, what the work is like, and all the good, bad, and ugly. We also talk about the differences in treatment between dancers and musicians, and the difference between entertainment and other crew and departments on board.  Support our work at patreon.com/RelativeRhythms --- MITCHELL THOMAS MCCRONE INSTAGRAM: @mitch878 CHOREOGRAPHY: @jmc_collab ALEXANDRA COONEY WEBSITE: https://www.alexandracooney.com/ INSTAGRAM: @wandaaroundtheworld BRAND: @yesdancer247 ...
