Do you have to have a split to be a dancer?

No, you don't have to have your splits to be a dancer! Though having your splits would help, you can still be a dancer without being able to do a split. I'd advise stretching your splits often, though, as this will increase flexibility and make it easier to leap and do other dance moves. I am a dancer and I can do the splits, but I know many dancers that cannot and they are still talented.

Do you need to be able to do the splits before you can stradle?

No, you do not have to know how to do the splits before you can straddle. People are different where some can do straddles before splits. It all depends on the body type and hips. For both splits and straddles though, it does help to have more flexible hamstrings. By working your hamstring flexibility, both your splits and straddles will improve.
