Dancer

A dancer performs and helps create movement-based work, using technique, improvisation, and physical expression to realise a choreographer's vision on stage. Daily life centres on rigorous physical training, rehearsal, and refining how the body shapes time, space, and emotion in live performance.

Dancers work within companies, on freelance projects, and across stage and screen, specialising in forms from classical ballet to contemporary and modern dance. The role suits physically gifted, disciplined, expressive people who can commit to demanding daily training, perform live with precision and artistry, and accept a physically intense, comparatively short performing career.
