Supremacy 181 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 How is the life of the backup dancers? They are training to be idols or they just want to be backup dancer? I want to know more about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccynd 912 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 They probably get to fuck idols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny_ 1,308 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 In most cases, they're actual professional dancers who get recruited by entertainment companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PD101 Rep: BoA 1,183 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I guess it depends on who you ask. I've seen some back up dancers STAY on their grind and appear in multiple performances during the same promotional cycle so I'm sure their job isn't any easier than any given idol but I'm sure some enjoy a much less demanding lifestyle as far as the entertainment industry goes.

Haus of Tzu:Lai 5,450 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 quite a lot of back-up dancers were trainees who failed to debut. they had probably put in as many years, blood, sweat & tears as the idols, only to fail to make the final cut. back up dancers don't get paid that much either, so i can't imagine it to be that glamorous of a life. but it's a job nonetheless and they still get to perform on stage (doing what they love) - minus the disadvantages of the idol life (the pressure and sasaeng fans etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletWhimsy 2,203 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I remember that dance teacher in Baby Kara appeared as a back-up dancer in some other artist's performance..? So yeah, they're most likely pro dancers/dance teachers getting paid to do those jobs Edit: ...oh.. :( now that you mention the failed-trainees... that's too bad :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polar_star 261 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Some of them are professional teams like PLAY who have several members, including choreographers. They've worked with Secret, BAP, Girls Day etc. That's why you'll see a lot of the same dancers over and over (I'm sure there are other teams like that too). They seem to have some full time members that perform regularly and choreograph and some part time ones that come and go. I'm sure some of those "part time" ones are trying to be trainees, but I don't think the others are. I assume they mostly make money from choreographing and then added pay for each appearance. I do know a friend's sister who thought about trying out to be a dancer instead of idol because it seemed more fun and less stressful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leifz 870 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I guess their doing okay and living. Meeting artists and celebrities when they can.. Probably having fun too if dancing is their passion For ex: Sh*t Kingz they worked with some people .. Like Bigbang's gara gara go was coreographed by them with Brian and EXO's history was choreographed by them . If you don't know them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sane 16,342 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Some of them are trainees, but most of them are professional dancers who only show up for practices and performances, so their life is a lot less hectic than an idol's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camila Cabello 11,450 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I knw G.NA used to be Hyuna's back up dancer during Change And in G.NA's new song, Pretty Lingerie, there is a Cube trainee about to debut soon in there, who is her backup dancer Hyuna had an audition for backup dancers which A LOT of people tried out for (like over thousands) but only one made it. Lay was also a backup dancer for SHINee before debut. Companies sometimes add one back up dancer that is confirmed for debut in a group. That's tone of the ways they show off their trainees can perform before their debut. But usually it's professional dancers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUILD 3,195 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 TVXQ's look damn content, proud and happy to be on that team. Even the female dancers (for the apparent short time that they've been on bored). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
