And when it comes to Janet, well, it was because of her music videos that I started studying dance in the first place. Born in Roxboro, N.C., Noblett trained in classical ballet at the North Carolina School of the Arts and spent three years dancing in New York before realizing that he really needed to be in L.A. to further his career in the commercial dance world. For the kind of work I want to do—music videos and concert touring—for every one audition there is in New York, there are 10 to 15 in L.A., he says. Noblett acknowledges that auditioning for tours with popular musical acts can be very discouraging, but he advises dancers to always look at who got the job and try to figure out what that dancer brought to the table that maybe you didnt. It really takes a good year or so after you move here before people start knowing you and realizing what you can do, he says. So you need to be patient. Take class. Go to as many auditions as you can. And do your research, so you know what the artist youre auditioning for has done and what theyre looking for. And show up at the important parties, awards shows, and performances in order to keep up with whats going on in the business. Compared to most other kinds of dance work, the pay for dancing backup on a tour with a major pop star is very good. And you get to see places all over the world that you wouldnt get to otherwise, Noblett says. Granted, there is dance-company work that also involves touring to interesting places, but the pay is nowhere near as good. And youre taken care of very well on musical tours. Youre put up in four- or five-star hotels, youre provided catering, you get a per diem, and you also get a very good weekly salary. But its not for the monetary rewards that he wants to continue doing this kind of work. I would like to bring a classical element to the commercial dance business, says Noblett, who eventually wants to move into directing. Not a lot of people train classically before they come to the music-video tour industry. And because theres so much money in this, you can find the quality of the work to be hit-or-miss. Not because people dont do good work, but because theyre often not trained to produce work of any great artistic depth. Im hoping that my classical training will help me to bring a different element to the business that will enhance it and allow it to move beyond what it is right now.
