This research aims are to explore generation Z dance majors’ views on “good work”. We conducted, in-depth interviews with 20 dance major students at a four-year university in Seoul. The results show that, regarding the attributes of good work, students tended to rank good working conditions, job security, relevance to their major, personal interest, chances for personal development, salary, job appropriateness, and so on. Additionally, in comparing the perceived expectation levels for ideal jobs and jobs in reality, significant differences were seen in the particular jobs that were listed. The assessment of the job indicators for both occupational groups also indicated discrepancies. Examination of the gap between dance majors’ expectations for ideal jobs and their perceptions of jobs in reality identified high levels of awareness of a lack of diversity, few openings, the necessity for pragmatic compromises, low pay, and other issues, respectively. Considering these results, this study identifies that while there are differences between the specific jobs acknowledged by dance majors as good work and those available, their attitudes do not reveal new or revolutionary trends compared to past patterns. Therefore, the occupational attitudes and expectations of Generation Z dance majors appear to be passive and conservative.
