ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Background dancer

Okay kiddo, you know those people who dance behind the main singer in a music video or on stage during a concert? Those are called background dancers!

Their job is to make the performance look even cooler by doing cool dance moves in sync with the music. They usually wear similar outfits so they all look like they are part of a team.

Sometimes, they also help tell the story of the song or performance by acting out certain scenes or emotions through their dance moves.

But even though they are not the main focus of the performance, background dancers have to work really hard and practice a lot to make sure they look perfect and don't mess up. So next time you watch a music video or go to a concert, make sure to give a shoutout to the awesome background dancers!
