RESUMEN: Little research has been published about the varied role of the independent dancer. The aim of this study was to provide insight into the work independent dancers undertake and how their careers change over time. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 independent dancers. Content analysis revealed that the dancers had multifaceted careers that relied on both formal and informal activities, and varied according to three distinct stages (early, middle, late). The experiences reported by the dancers indicated that the realities of the independent dancer's role are not sufficiently recognized or supported within the industry. (TRADUCCIÓN: Se han publicado pocos estudios sobre los diferentes roles de los bailarines independientes. El propósito de este estudio es proporcionar una introducción al trabajo que desarrollan los bailarines independientes y como sus carreras evolucionan a lo largo del tiempo. Se incluyen parte de entrevistas con 14 profesionales, cuyas carreras son polivalentes y se apoyan tanto en las actividades formales como informales, y varían de acuerdo con tres etapas distintas (temprana, media, tardía). Estas experiencias indican que el papel de los bailarines independientes no están suficientemente reconocidas y apoyadas dentro de la industria.) PALABRAS CLAVE: Independent dance, dancer, roles, networks
