Do you have to know how to dance to be on broadway?

Question

Do you have to have dance experience and training?

Answer 1

It depends what you want to be on Broadway for......acting? Singing? Dancing? Dancing, obviously, you'll need experience, but the other two not necessarily. (As in you will need dancing experience if you're in the chorus of Phantom of the Opera, or something like that...because it's singing AND dancing (the chorus is part of a dance trouppe, sooo...yeah)). Umm...well, really, my answer is, 'No, you do need to have dance experience and training to be on Broadway provided that what you want to do has nothing to do with dancing.'

Answer 2

bien sur baby, where do they base themselves about your talen if you have any. you must have something to offer. it's the same thing if you want to be an ingeneer and you never follow any formation, is it possible?

Answer 3

Bluntly yes.

I do not know of any broadway performer that can't dance.  You may not be the best but you better know the basics and be able demonstrate them.

Answer 4

Broadway is not far from dancing and stuff. But I don't think you need to have years of dancing experience, I think what's more important is that you can dance. You might not have any experiences or whatever, because you're kind of a hidden gem. But, if you're an awesome dancer, why not?

Cheers

Answer 5

doing with filling,dont forget to saw  eye him

Answer 6

There are some shows on Broadway that don't require dancing.  BUT... you need to have something to sell and when you go to an AUDITION and you are the only person there who can't dance... how long do you think it will take for you to hear "thank you... NEXT"

Answer 7

If you're looking to be in the lead, you most likely have to be a triple threat.  A triple threat is someone who can sing, dance, and act and has had schooling for each.  Not all shows have dancing, but those in the lead would possibly be triple threats just because of their experience.  It is possible that some chorus parts don't have dancing.  

Shows with no or minimum dancing include...

"Les Misérables" (however the show is closed at the moment)

"Wicked"

Possibly "a Tale of Two Cities"

There most likely are, and will, be more.  Don't give up your dreams!
