Lientebollemeis asked me to convert some of her Sims 2 careers and I was very happy to do that! So this is one of her careers, Professional Ballerina! It was requested for the Sims 2 by VikiAREi.
You find here a conversion for the Sims 3. So any additional texts, info etc are by me, but the original idea is from Lientebollemeis and VikiAREi.
Here is the full information for the career for Sims 3. The career is located at the Theatre and the focus is on Athletic, with a bit of Charisma, Cooking and Painting. It has one custom tone, Warm Up, which builds the Athletic skill.
Career Levels
Professional Ballerina Career ~ Ever dreamed of becoming a ballerina professionally? Perhaps you excelled at ballet club at elementary school? Then join today and dance your way to fame! 1. Amateur Dancer ~ Though you are the lead dancer for your ballet studio, it's still far from the top. The pay might not be much, but it puts your foot in the door for a career. Work hard on building up your body and creativity skills. Make sure you keep that smile of your beautiful too. You never know who might be in the audience watching! Wages: §16/hour Days: Friday, Saturday, Sunday Work hours: 4.00pm ~ 9.00pm
2. Trainee ~ Congratulations, you've been found! A talent scout for a professional program was in the audience for the last show. She loved the creativity of your costume, your graceful and fluid movements, and your charming smile. She will train and tutor you one-on-one so you can apply to a dance school. But getting into a school is no cakewalk. You will need to work on your body skills to remain flexible and loose. Also train your mind; you'll be able to "feel" the rhythm much better if you have a deeper understanding of the music. Wages: §40/hour Days: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday Work hours: 10.00am ~ 2.00pm
3. Ballet School Student ~ After a hard and long training program, you've been accepted into The Royal Ballet School!! But just having a good teacher or two isn't going to make you into a ballet dancer. You’ll need to do everything properly to minimize the risk of injury. Research how your body works in response to ballet (anatomy, etc.), imagery in ballet, and other things like that to help you get a better sense of your body. Analyze lead dancers (principles, soloists), the corps de ballet members ("background dancers" in a company), and students to see what makes them different. What do they do differently? How do they do it? These and more are all the questions you should asking and applying to yourself. Wages: §22/hour Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday Work hours: 9.00am ~ 6.00pm
4. Contract Dancer ~ You’ve graduated from dance school, and now you have a contract with a ballet company! It might not be a long one, so work hard and show them the star in you so they will want to permanently hire you! Also, now that you are working professionally in ballet you’ll need to watch your eating habits. Learn to cook healthy and filling recipes so you stay fit and focused during your performances. Wages: §82/hour Days: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday Work hours: 10.00am ~ 5.00pm
5. Corps de Ballet Member ~ Corps de Ballet literally means the “The Body of the Ballet”, which is a really nice and fancy way of saying background dancer. You’re now a permanent dancer of the company, but you’re staying late and working long hours. Since nobody wants to be in the backdrop forever the competition is stiff; keep up the practicing, eating healthy, and don’t slack on your books! There will be only a few opportunities to show off your amazing talents so get creative. Also don’t forget to relax a little and enjoy the scenery, you’ve worked hard to get into a company, so enjoy it! (Making new friends might help you move up faster too…) Wages: §90/hour Days: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday Work hours: 2.00pm ~ 10.00pm
6. Soloist ~ You’ve proven yourself as a cut above the others in the Corps de Ballet. You will now have a solo piece to do! Being the Bluebird in “The Sleeping Beauty” might not seem like a lot but it’s still a solo piece! But the only way you can get better parts is if you keep up the excellent work. Maybe you can get some tips and pointers from some of the other soloists… Wages: §112/hour Days: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday Work hours: 8.00am ~ 4.00pm
7. Guest Artist ~Your body is like a piece of artwork, and now others are starting to notice this too! You’ve been asked to be a guest in another company’s production. And it’s a solo piece too! This will be an excellent way to boast your image in the dance world, as well as make some extra cash. Don’t forget ballet is considered another style of acting, so study up your role and find a way to jazz up your costume a little! Wages: §220/hour Days: Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday Work hours: 3.00pm ~ 8.00pm
8. Principal ~ You did it! You are now the lead dancer for your ballet company! You will now get the opportunity to play leading roles such as Don Quixote in “Don Quixote” and Odette in “Swan Lake”. You also now have a say on how the costumes are made too! Keep up the hard work. You never know who might be watching you design the costumes, if they really like them they might see you for all the talent you are really worth. Wages: §412/hour Days: Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday Work hours: 7.00pm ~ 11.00pm
9. Prima Ballerina/Premier Danseur ~ This is amazing!! You’ve been honoured with the title Prima Ballerina/Premier Danseur!! That’s the 2nd highest title any ballet dancer can get! People from all around the world come to see you dance. They talk about how graceful and beautiful your body is and ask for your autograph. You now have not only any say with what’s going on with a production you can pick who you want to act with! People now come to you for dance advice and to create new dance techniques for the ballet world! Wages: §500/hour Days: Monday, Saturday, Sunday Work hours: 2.00pm ~ 7.00pm
10. Prima Ballerina Assoluta/ Premier Danseur Noble ~ Congratulations, you have achieved the highest honour granted to any ballet dancer! Your name is now synonymous with greatness! People from all over the world know your name. You dance for monarchies, high up political figures, and you do it whenever you feel like it! They want to write books about you and name ballet schools and new techniques after you. Only a very talented few have made it to the point that you have. This is truly the dream job!! Wages: §1,125/hour Days: Saturday, Sunday Work hours: 6.00pm ~ 10.00pm
