What does a Backup Dancer (Concerts and Tours) do?

Known for their flexible skill set, excellent technique, tireless stamina, and copious live performance experience, backup dancers support major recording artists in concerts, tours, and music videos. In this  gig-based field, there are opportunities for performers from a range of backgrounds to find work: from highly educated dancers who have trained from birth to relative newcomers scouted from clubs and universities. However, that's not to suggest that this business is forgiving; the world of background dance is fast-paced and competitive, and those who make it their career must work tirelessly to keep up.

While beginners might get away with substituting charisma and appeal for dedicated training, anyone hoping for a long-term career as a backup dancer must thoroughly learn the four critical dance styles:  ballet, hip-hop, jazz, and modern. Once they've mastered those, backup dancers are always on the lookout for something to grant an edge over the competition, be it a difficult move, a particular movement style like tap or mime, or a highly complementary skill like acting or singing. In fact, almost all of a backup dancer's time while not working is spent taking classes to learn new techniques, practicing to keep up their skills, and working out to stay in shape. Professional development is constant, lest backup dancers risk falling behind.

Read about my career

At a Glance

Backup dancers have a wide range of backgrounds and aspirations. Some train their whole lives, while others discover dance as young adults. Some see backup dance as a way to pay the bills, while others  are aiming for the limelight, seeking to emulate the backup-dancer-turned-star trajectory charted by people like Jennifer Lopez. A number cross over from working as theatrical ensemble dancers .  Regardless, all but the luckiest dancers must start by proving themselves in the battle royale of open auditions. Those who land gigs and perform well gain access to new opportunities and connections, until eventually they spend more time in closed auditions than open ones. Inevitably, the best of the best rise to the top; dancers who form a bond of trust with a specific recording artist might become dance captains—a position prized for its security in this gig-based field—while those who prefer to remain free agents might become highly sought-after performers and even celebrities in their own right.

It must be said that even the most successful backup dance careers end eventually. The job is highly taxing on the body, leading most professional dancers to move away from performance by their forties if not sooner. After retiring from performance, dancers might reinvent themselves as choreographers , form their own dance companies, or shift towards careers as dance teachers , movement coaches , physical therapists, or dance therapists . Additionally, those with high-profile careers and large followings might move into the entertainment industry, becoming actors or media personalities.

Auditions are the sole way to get hired as a backup dancer, and they come in two varieties: open, which means accessible to all and therefore crowded and time-consuming; and closed, which means only for those with solid connections or a great reputation. Stamina, cleverness, and charm are key i n open auditions , in which backup dancers seek to distinguish themselves over the course of as many as three 10-hour days. Websites like  Backstage  can be useful for finding open auditions.

In addition to putting their all into mastering the art of the audition—particularly the ability to quickly learn and perform new choreography—aspiring backup dancers should create a portfolio or website with videos that showcase their work, build a detailed dance resumé, and get headshots and full-body photographs taken. Networking is another major tool; one never knows when another dancer might pass along an audition, or even choose their own replacement when forced to drop out of a gig. Finally,  an excellent agent or agency can help dancers to negotiate contracts, find auditions, and get paid properly after a gig. Like everything else in this field, partnering with an agency generally requires—you guessed it—more auditions.

• Quick to pick up and memorize new choreography
• Takes direction well
• Experience with live performance and touring
• Exceptional fitness and strength
• Collaboration (esp. synchronization)
• Verbal communication

Backup dancers are in many ways defined by their flexibility, curiosity, and persistence. Constantly learning new skills and improving old ones in order to broaden their capabilities and be more appealing to choreographers , backup dancers rarely sit idle. Of course, they must have an e xcellent sense of rhythm, flawless technique, and an intuitive ability to synchronize with other performers, but all of this is useless if backup dancers can't take direction and make quick adjustments based on the choreographer's feedback. Finally, this is a career in which attitude and style are really important—if two dancers are equal in skill, then the choreographer will probably take the one whose style suits the video, who really sells their dance moves with energy or enthusiasm, or who simply seems a more pleasant partner for a long rehearsal, tour, or shoot.

Where do you live? What do you enjoy doing? Would you like to get paid to share your knowledge and experiences with travelers from around the world? Become a tour guide in the peer-to-peer economy and you can start earning money doing what you love to do.

The tourism and travel niche of the shared economy connects local, knowledgeable guides with travelers to enhance the travel experience. This niche makes it possible for locals like you to share your wealth of knowledge by designing tours, walks, and experiences that others will enjoy.

People travel so that they can experience the lifestyle, activities, and culture that makes destinations so great. As a tour guide, docent, Insider, or advisor you can show people what makes a place truly special. Your local knowledge can help provide travelers with a true local experience – something they can never find in a guidebook or at a mainstream tourist attraction.

Imagine getting paid to show friendly travelers your favorite hiking trails, the best places to get street tacos, the local clubbing scene, your favorite museums, or the local wildlife? When you find a job in the travel and tourism niche you can make a living doing all of these things.

Online tourism and travel marketplaces cater to travelers who want to experience life through the eyes of a local – and you’re that local. Travelers login to the shared economy company website where they search for tours and experiences that interest them. They select a guide, choose a tour, and book it.

Tours can be private tours or involve small groups of like-minded travelers. The tours highlight what makes a place so unique and appealing to the true locals. It’s an eye-opening experience that you can be a part of.

Anyone can become a tour guide. It doesn’t matter where you are located in the world. There are many different travel and tourism shared economy companies to choose from such as Tour By Locals , Your Local Cousin , and Context Travel . Each of these cool companies has carved out its niche and has been hugely successful.

It’s up to you to decide which of these cool shared economy companies you want to work for. Do you want to give personalized recommendations while on the go, lead tours for intellectually curious travelers, or design your own unique experiences that others will enjoy?

Every travel and tourism shared economy company has different requirements to become a tour guide. Explore your options to discover what company is best for you. You might find that you want to work for all of them!

By pursuing a flexible tour guide job in the gig economy, you are choosing a lifestyle where you can work as much or as little as you want. Once you are in the system, you can manage your schedule to create the perfect work-life balance for you, while still earning a decent paycheck.

Pay in this niche varies. Guests may pay $50 for a half-day tour, $200 for a full day, or $2,000 for a multi-day trip. Typically you set the pricing for the trips you design and then the shared economy company takes a percentage to cover their costs and to make this dream job possible. The more tours you lead the more money you will make.

By capitalizing on tourism and travel, these online marketplaces allow you to live the life you love in the destination of your choice. This flexible job allows you to meet people, share experiences, and earn a paycheck. Where else can you get paid to be a tour guide who takes people off the beaten track?

Traveling is the ultimate adventure and these online travel and tourism marketplaces are revolutionizing the way that people experience the world. Sign up today and share the things that you love about your backyard. This is one of the coolest ways to get paid to do what you love.
