Dancer

A dancer uses their whole body to tell a story or share a feeling, with no words at all. On a regular day, they stretch their arms and legs, practice steps in a big room with mirrors, and listen closely to the music. For example, they might learn how to leap like a deer or spin like a leaf in the wind. They work with a teacher, other dancers, and people who pick the music and the costumes.

When a dancer performs, people in the audience can feel happy, calm, or excited just by watching. Dancing can also help someone who is shy show how they feel, or help a group of friends move together and have fun. A dancer shows us that bodies can be strong and graceful, and that moving to music is something everyone can enjoy.
