Bios for dancers on Instagram
Your videos already show how you move. The bio has to say the rest: what style you dance, where you dance it, and how someone can take your class or book you. These bios are sorted by style and by job, from pre-pro students and social dancers to studio owners and wedding choreographers.

Write your own
A bio that works usually has the same few parts. Fill them in for yours, or start from the example.
- Your style or styles
- Where you dance or teach
- A detail only dancers would get
- What people can learn or book
- The next step
Worked example
Salsa and bachata 💃 Socials in Leeds on Fridays Still counting under my breath Beginner classes on Mondays DM SALSA for times

Each part becomes a line of your bio. Nothing you type is uploaded.

Tips for your bio
Name your style, not just “dancer”. Someone hunting for a Kathak teacher or a breaking class searches for the style, so put it in your name field as well, as in “Asha | Kathak, Pune”.
Choose a profile photo where your face is clear, even if it's a dance shot. At the size Instagram shows it, a full-body leap turns into a tiny blur; a close crop of the same photo still says dancer.
Pin a performance clip, a class or tutorial Reel and a post with your timetable or booking details. That answers the three things new visitors want to know: can you dance, can you teach, and when.
If your videos depend on popular songs, check the audio library before switching to a Business account. Business accounts can have a smaller choice of licensed music for Reels than Creator accounts.
Credit choreography in captions. When you dance someone else's routine, tag them there; keep the bio for your own work, so nobody mistakes a cover for your choreography.
Studios: keep class times out of the bio and in a highlight or behind the link, then update them each term. A bio that says “Thursday 6pm” goes wrong the first time a class moves.
Questions people ask
What should a dancer put in their Instagram bio?
Your style, where you dance or teach, and one next step: watch a showreel, take a class or book you. Add a detail that sounds like you, such as the stage you're training for or the turn you still can't land.
How do I write a bio for a dance studio?
Lead with the styles and ages you teach, then the area, then the easiest first step, such as a trial class or the timetable link. Parents scan for ages and times first, so the studio's story can wait for a highlight.
Should I mention my training or my company in my bio?
A short line helps if bookers or schools are your audience, for example the company you dance with, tagged with an @. Full training histories fit better in a highlight or on a website, where there's room for dates and details.
Do I need a separate account for dance?
Not always. If most of what you post is dance, make your account professional and keep going. If your personal account is mostly friends and family, a separate dance account keeps classes, videos and bookings in one tidy place.
What should a choreographer's bio say?
The kind of work you choreograph (stage, music videos, weddings, sangeets, competitions), where you're based or will travel, and how to see your reel. Then the contact route: the email button, your agent or a word to DM.
