Classical dancers perform roles from the classical dance repertoire and roles from new works in front of audiences. They practice, rehearse with other dancers and the choreographer, and participate in production activities. They may be called upon to lead dance workshops and participate in promotional activities as part of their duties. It is an exciting profession for creative people who have a talent for dance while being disciplined and rigorous. A career as a dancer requires being in excellent physical condition, a tolerance for precarity and an aptitude for teamwork.
