Coastal Bend Ballet

I am an independent contractor for a ballet company. I also work part-time for a regular W-2 filing job. When filling out the vehicle expense section of Schedule C I do not understand what the difference is between business miles and commuting miles. Are commuting miles those between my W-2 job and home while business miles are those between the ballet company and home? So confused.

This is a general question for all dancers, not just for professional ballet dancers.

How much ballet training is sufficient for a dancer to have “technique” and effectively acquire and excel at other styles of dance?

I know barre and centerwork are ubiquitous even at the professional ranks, but I’m referring to before that.
