Dancer

A career as a dancer in the UK involves performing in a variety of settings, such as theatres, on television, in music videos, or at live events. Dancers may specialise in different styles, including ballet, contemporary, street, or ballroom. The work can be physically demanding, requiring dedication to daily practice, rehearsals, and performances. Dancers often work as part of a company or as freelancers, and may also teach dance or take on choreography work alongside performing. Success in this field relies on talent, strong physical fitness, resilience, and the ability to work well in a team. Many dancers also need to travel regularly for performances or auditions, both within the UK and internationally.
