Hire a Freelance Dancer
Dance is one of the most practiced performing art and any individual who dances professionally is known as a dancer. Dancers use movement, gesture and body language to portray a character, story or situation to a live or visual broadcast audience.
What Freelance Dancers Do?
A dancer is an artist who dances to a pre-choreographed piece for an audience. However, dancers spend hours and days altogether rehearsing a piece and perfecting it – they use their body and movements to tell stories and convey emotions. Dancers have the artistic ability and creativity, as well as the physical dexterity, to express ideas through movement. They train, exercise and attend dance classes to maintain high levels of technical proficiency, physical ability and fitness.
There are many types of dances in the world and a dancer may specialize in one or multiple dance forms. For example, a dancer could be a hip-hop street style dancer, a ballroom dancer or a folk dance dancer. Dancers may perform in musicals, plays, television shows, movies or even at promotional events.
Depending on the piece that they are dancing for, dancers may work in tandem with other dancers to create an entire routine. Alternatively, expert dancers also put up solo performances. Many dancers play the role of a choreographer or a teacher, where they may choreograph the piece that they are dancing on or may teach others about the dance that they specialize in.
