Professional Dancer

A Professional Dancer performs solo or group routines for a live audience or for recorded productions. You might come up with your own choreography or follow a set routine. Professional Dancers spend time rehearsing a performance on their own or as part of a larger group. You may specialise in a particular style of dance such as tap, contemporary or Indigenous performance.

Professional Dancers should be passionate about their craft and willing to put in long hours of practice and rehearsal. It’s important that you are a highly skilled dancer and can follow various types of choreography. Professional Dancers should be physically fit and able to work as part of a team. You may have to work irregular hours including nights and weekends.
