Top 10 Best Former Female Professional Dancers
Best females who used to dance professionally but have either retired or moved on to another career.
Shakira is a Colombian singer and dancer who began her career performing traditional Latin dance forms, especially belly dancing, which she later incorporated into her music performances. Her unique blend of Latin, Arabic, and rock influences has made her a global icon. She's the queen of belly dancing. Ain't nobody who can move their hips like her. She is the best and always will be.
The best dancer ever! She's fabulous in Hips Don't Lie!
Ain't nobody gonna beat her ever.
Jennifer Lopez is an American singer, actress, and dancer who began her career as a dancer on the television show In Living Color before transitioning into music and film. She is known for her energetic stage performances and blending Latin dance styles with pop music. I really adore Shakira and her sexy, flexible body, but let's be honest - Jennifer Lopez is the true queen of dance. Shakira is mostly a belly dancer, while J.Lo dances hip-hop, rumba, salsa, samba, stepping, ballet, tango, cha-cha-cha, and bachata. In other words, everything! Jennifer is definitely #1 for sure.
For the second place, I'd divide it between the awesome Shakira, Paula Abdul, and Madonna.
I love the way she dances, especially in group performances, and how she moves her body.
Love her (and Shakira's) dancing for sure.
Graceful, athletic, beautiful, charming, and sensual. She was truly the best.
Without a doubt, Cyd was the most graceful dancer of all time.
Madonna is an American singer, songwriter, and actress who incorporated various dance styles into her music career, heavily influencing pop culture with her choreography and stage presence. She often pushed boundaries by blending classical dance techniques with modern pop and theatrical performances.
Paula Abdul is an American choreographer, dancer, and singer who gained fame as a choreographer for Janet Jackson and later for her own pop career. Her dance background includes ballet, jazz, and tap, and she also served as a judge on American Idol. She is absolutely amazing in all areas of music and entertainment. She sings well, dances incredibly, and should definitely be first on this list.
Paula Abdul should be number one! That would be so cool. I hope she makes new music for all the Paula Abdul fans like me. Thank you, Paula Abdul!
