Dance is a form of expression. Through their work, dancers convey stories, ideas, moods, and feelings to an audience. There are many different types and styles of dance, including classical ballet, modern dance, folk, and jazz. Dance can be either formal or free-form.
Dancers usually get work through auditions, which involve performing and demonstrating their skills in front of the people who are producing and staging a show. Auditions are often announced in the newspaper or online, particularly when a new show is in development.
A dancer who has a successful audition and gets the part has to study the role and practice the required moves. The dancers rehearse dance steps with partners or other troupe members. A large part of the dancer's day is spent rehearsing, especially as the show's opening approaches.
Many experienced dancers become choreographers or instructors. Choreographers work behind-the-scenes, creating original dance routines that match the mood and tempo of the music. They are often part of the selection team at an audition. Dance instructors teach all ages and all skill levels, from amateurs to professionals. They also prepare dance students for auditions and performances.
As well as being a performance art in its own right, dance complements opera, musicals, television, movies, music videos, and commercials. Therefore, many dancers also sing and act.

Are doing leg lifts by holding both legs straight and an inch off the floor bad for the back?
I don't know it it is bad for the lower back but you can modify it to reduce stress on the back. When you do this exercise place your hands, palm down, beneath your butt. Then do the leg lift and remember to breathe.
If you are concerned about your back and are looking for an alternative, several versions of supine double leg raises can be found in Pilates and other well-established fitness methods.
