house dancer

Venue's regular mover

A house dancer is someone who dances to house music, the electronic dance genre that emerged from Chicago clubs in the 1980s.

House dancing emphasizes fluid footwork, rhythmic body movement, and improvisation rather than choreographed routines.

The term can also refer to a dancer employed regularly at a particular club or venue: She's been a house dancer at that spot for years.
