He Pop It is, for many decades, a visual show as well as sound. A choreography magnificates an entire performanceyou can even turn a song into a viral success into networks. However, while the lights fall on the main star, behind there is an army of professional artists who give everything without receiving the same focus: the dancers. This April 29, International Dance Daywe raise the voice to look beyond the singer and recognize the work of those who, with each movement, each expression and each look, contribute to building a show overwhelming.
Dance as a narrative of the shows
The dance in the genre mainstream It’s not just decoration, it’s about Narrative, personality and, on many occasions, brand identity. Just see Beyoncéthe queen of Pop visual, to understand that without your dancers and dancers the success of Formation I would not have sense. In the massive tour of 2023, Renaissance World Toureach movement was carefully designed to reinforce the aesthetic concept in which it was built. His team represents a key identity ingredient, diversity and uniqueness for which he has claimed so much.

In that same line it moves Tate mcraeone of the youngest and most complete emerging artists of the current panorama. With one Professional training in dance from an early ageyou can see how this element is one of the pillars that build their seal in the industry. Their video clips and their live performances contain some of the most demanding and shocking choreographies of recent times. And in their case, the dancers do not accompany, but are part of the subject; They are another extension of his body, of his emotional narrative.
The most representative thing is that the style of the song does not matter, this 21 -year -old woman expresses the feelings of each verse through movement; From ballads like You Broke Me First either RESOLVING DOOReven more sensual sounds and powers as in Exes either Sports Car.
Beyond the bottom: the dancers under the focus
If you have to talk about a model to follow in dance in Spain, the phenomenon of Slomo of Chanel Terrero in Eurovision 2022 frame A before and after. The artist arrived at Third position flagging and making visible at all times your dance body. The staging in Turin was created around the choreography. Visually it was shocking, 6 bodies in complete synchronization, next to the solid voice of the singer; It marked a milestone in the history of our country. It is impossible to imagine Slomo Without the iconic fingers or fun gesture dancebreak What so many have we replicated.
However, the most important thing about that event was the change of vision of many artists after seeing such representation. The community is every time more wrapped and artists no longer allow this type of injustices. Even so, there is still a long way to go because there are still characters in the industry that undervalue this art or degrade it as “unnecessary.” Other examples such as Abraham Mateo, Ana Mena, Kuve or Agoney They have claimed the importance of the dance body in their shows And they have insisted to be deserved.
Sacrifice, technique and passion
What to say about artists like The Pussycat Dolls either Jennifer López. In both cases, the line between singer and dancer is almost non -existent. Nicole Scherzinger led a group that made dance your stampand J.Lo It has been demonstrating that a well -executed choreography can lift a Halftime show or make history in an awards ceremony. Jennifer, former base of In living colorhe has never stopped surrounding himself with the best dancers in the world. In their actions, everyone has their moment of prominence. They are part of the story.
And to be a dancer in the Pop It is a mixture of passion and resistance. Extreme physical performance is required for hours, with a constancy and discipline Much greater than a simple interpreter, and, many times, you work in the shadow. “In the end I was born in the world of dance; First of all I am a dancer, and always supporting“, he replied Daniela Blasco in the interview with Los40. The dancer, choreographer and singer, runner -up of Benidorm Fest 2025has always turned to make art and passion visible with which the artists of the movement work.

Jason Deruloanother of the great names of dance in the Pophas based his career on a perfect balance between voice and movement. His actions are Authentic high intensity choreographic routinesand he himself is the first to show his respect for the dancers who accompany him. In fact, in social networks it usually Share test videosmaking visible the work of those who make it possible.
Of course, we could not ignore the princess of the Pop. The shows of Britney Spears They have revolutionized the music scene of different generations. Dance has been key in its artistic career; From his first successes as … Baby One More Time either Oops! … I Did It Againa visual standard that has been inspiring for emerging stars has been established. But it was not only the product of Popularization of choreographiesbut has placed his dancers at all times in a prominent place, recognizing their work and allowing the focus on them to fall.
The dancers are workers, professionals and artists who deserve recognition
In this International Dance Dayit’s time to remember that when we think of an iconic performance, either from Dua Lipa, Rosalía, Shakira, Troye Sivan or Lady Gagaprobably what we remember is not only the song, but the energy, coordination, movement. From the millimeter steps of Beyoncé in Single Ladies Until the physical waste of Chanel in Eurovision or the acrobatics synchronized in the shows of Jason Derulothere is a truth that is repeated: dance is the protagonist, although it is not always given the place it deserves.
From Los40 we applaud the work of dancers and dancers who go through demanding training of long hours, who suffer injuries and whose salaries are not sufficiently proportional to the time used. Monica Peña, Marc MontojoLeire Dallas, Saydi Lubanzadio, Pol SotoPablo Costas, Albert Cornelles, Claudia Reira, Belén Leroux, Marshall Font, Josh HuertaYanira Ruíz, Júlia Pericas and thousands of more names … They deserve to be recognized and valued.
