Life Cycle Of Backing Dancers

September 12th, 2008

If you ever watch a music artist or band you’ll notice that their backing dancers fequently change. They often want different backing dancers from one project to another.

The only time the backing dancers will be with an artist for a long period of time is if they’re one of their dancers on a tour. On a tour, an artist will usually have the same set for the whole tour and that also means the same choreography and the same dancers.

A music artist that has a long career like Madonna will probably work with many dancers throughout her career as her own career outlasts that of her dancers. Dancers’ careers are relatively short. In fact she will probably work with some dancers, only to work with them later on in their careers as choroegraphers.
