Performing Arts- Dance
There are many different styles of dance, including ballet, folk, ballroom, contemporary and tap. Dancers may specialise in a particular dance style or else perform a variety of styles. Dancers must attend auditions, and rehearse before a performance. They may also have to apply their own makeup and act or sing as part of a performance. Dancers may also interpret music or choreograph dance movements, or decide to work specifically as a choreographer. Choreographers will usually have a working background as a dancer.
