I think your approach in guidance is appropriate.

Dance should be secondary to a career. However, if his passion lies in the performing arts he should pursue something nuts and bolts in the entertainment industry. Success in actual performance is like professional sports: an extremely rare combination of luck and talent and is almost always very short-lived.

If he can realistically identify what he wants to do with his life he should find and study somebody who's already doing it. Realistically is the key word, here.
