Dancers use their bodies to express ideas, stories, rhythm, and sound through different dance styles like ballet, modern, folk, ethnic, tap, and jazz. Dancers perform in musical shows, operas, movies, and videos. While some dancers work solo, most collaborate in groups. Dancing is physically demanding work so many retire in their late 30s, sometimes becoming dance teachers.
