chorus-girls
Backup stage dancers
Chorus girls are dancers who perform together in the chorus of a musical show, revue, or cabaret—the ensemble rather than the featured performers.
The term evokes a particular era of Broadway and vaudeville entertainment, with images of coordinated kick lines and sequined costumes: She started as a chorus girl before landing lead roles.
