they start teaching dance and other arts in many towns and villages in a perfectly nonchalant and irresponsible manner with bombast as their chief weapon of attack to all well-meant criticisms. They, therefore, constitute a danger to the art world. Fortunately, however, they are found out before it is too late, especially in bigger towns. But in the smaller towns and villages the dilettantes hold almost an undisputed sway. 

They are satisfied with low fees and low remuneration for their teaching and stage work and thus contract many supporters in their places of adoption. Time alone can root out this menace.

9. The Artiste Juvenile or Child

Most parents are proud of the artistic talent of their children. Children become easy successes in the field of dance even before they reach their teens, mainly because they are children and have generally an innate talent for dance. Given proper training and encouragement they may become first-rate artistes. But quite often their artist career stops.

When they are fifteen or sixteen or when the problem of their marriage crops. Somehow in our country dance and marriage for the girls do not go together. The child prodigies end up as dutiful wives. Even for boys the situation more or less is the same, as their parents expect them to be breadwinners and not artistes with a chequered life and uncertain income.
