How to explore a dancer's work

Begin with the style. Classical ballet, contemporary, hip hop, folk and film dance each have different training paths and standards, so compare dancers within their discipline.

Watch full performances where possible. Choreography credits, company affiliations and live stage work often reveal more than short social clips.

If you want a dancer for an event, workshop or video, clarify whether you need a performer, a choreographer or a teacher. Many do all three, but the preparation differs.
