Abstract

ABSTRACT The image of dancing into the spotlight alludes to glamor, which clouds the artists’ back-breaking work and practice. Meanwhile, there is scant research on the lived experiences of professional female dancers. To address this gap, this study explores the lived experiences of eight Vietnamese professional female dancers who are married with children. The findings reveal their enormous challenges in their professional, social, and personal lives to stay in the profession and navigate their roles as partners and mothers in their families. Their stories were unmasked in the hope to foster a deeper understanding between dancing careers and the public, and provide insights into the female dancers’ challenges in keeping the dance body in shape after pregnancy and childbirth, which is hardly featured in dance scholarship in Vietnam.

舞蹈成为孕妇：越南职业舞者的生活经历

在聚光灯下跳舞的形象暗示着一种魅力，这种魅力给艺术家们辛苦的工作和实践蒙上了一层阴影。与此同时，对职业女舞者的生活经历研究较少。为了解决这一差距，本研究探讨了八名已婚有孩子的越南职业女舞者的生活经历。调查结果揭示了她们在职业、社交和个人生活中面临的巨大挑战，她们要保持职业生涯，并在家庭中扮演好伴侣和母亲的角色。她们的故事是为了加深舞蹈事业和公众之间的了解，并提供女性舞者在怀孕和分娩后保持舞蹈身材的挑战，这在越南舞蹈奖学金中很难得到报道。
