I’d argue it’s Tupac. He started as a backup dancer for Digital Underground. Fun fact; he’s actually in Nothing But Trouble when Digital Underground does their cameo.
I’d maybe add Heather Morris to the list. She got her role as the iconic Brittany S. Pearce on Glee because she was a Beyonce backup dancer and they hired her to teach the cast the Single Ladies dance.

If you’re well known as a backup dancer, you’re a bad one
Followed by the ladies of size who sued Lizzo for being mean
Weren’t J-Lo and Paula Abdul backup dancers than became famous?
The one who married J-Lo was well-known for a second too

It’s impossible to probe K-Fed wasn’t in the left shark suit. He’s been inside weirder things.
Feel like there’s been a few famous ones. Wasn’t Channing Tatum also a backup dancer?
Famous for being backup dancers maybe, but technically the most famous backup dancers are now just famous.
J-Lo, Janet Jackson, Madonna, Tupac & Zendaya to name a few. Jason Statham as well.
The Fly Girls were always the best dancers.
Courtney Cox is up there. Although I am not sure Dancing in the Dark counts as “backup” dancer
J-Lo started as a back up dancer. She should have stayed there.
These two might be the coolest.
How has nobody mentioned Tupac as a background dancer for digital underground??
Backup dancers are lower than security; at least they can get you backstage
I know which one is left, but i can’t tell that the left shark was wrong and the right shark was correct
What about the other two members of Destiny’s Child?
Right Shark was the back up dancer Left shark was the star.
When you think of iconic performances, K-Fed and Left Shark are basically the Avengers of backup dancing. Move over, main acts.
Alison Stoner? Disney channel kid and also dancing for Missy Elliot in that one video.
Keith Flint fromThe Prodigy? I found him obnoxious in every way, but for most people he really was the face of the group.
