Brainstorming my Questions...

Recently I am beginning to develop my thoughts about my questions on dance and teaching. As a practitioner I seem to bounce between performing and teaching all the time, I am always learning and becoming more creative and stronger in my abilities but of course always have questions on how to enhance my profession. Reading through other blogs and finding out that nearly all the professions have similar enquires to myself which I find is helpful as we can analyse in depth and exchange thoughts with one another to come to conclusions. In particulars Sophie's has a similar in depth blog on her brainstorm.

What should already be part of being a Professional in my Sector of Dance? As a Professional I believe these are the key aspects a person should already have that is practicing their work.
