Abstract	Though anchored in cross-cultural comparisons, this study aims to identify the key factors that impacted the talent development of successful dancers from childhood through adulthood. Case studies of eight Finnish and Singaporean ballet and contemporary dancers exemplify the qualities of successful dancers in terms of their career achievements and awards. The talent-development mega-model frames the discussion. First, results are presented in thick description of four dancers' stories: "nonconformist," "exemplary dancer," "go-getter," and "trailblazer." Next, the analysis reveals that (a) a high level of abilities, (b) developed psychosocial skills, and (c) external factors and chance are integral to all the eight dancers' success. The findings generally supported the chosen model and offered observations about pedagogy, implicit theories, and academic achievement. (As Provided).
