"Danseuse" (also known as "Dancer") is a term that encompasses a series of sculptures, paintings, and drawings by the French artist Edgar Degas (1834–1917), who is widely regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, although he preferred to be called a realist. Degas is particularly renowned for his works depicting dancers, capturing their grace, discipline, and daily life. His fascination with ballet dancers was part of his broader interest in movement and the study of the human form in dynamic situations.

The "Danseuse" works vary in medium and size, ranging from life-sized sculptures to smaller bronze casts, and from oil paintings to pastel drawings. One of the most famous sculptures from this series is "La Petite Danseuse de Quatorze Ans" ("Little Dancer of Fourteen Years"), which stands out for its realism and the mixed media approach, including the use of real fabric for the ballet dancer's tutu and hair ribbon, and human hair for the figure's chignon. This particular sculpture was originally modeled in wax before being cast in bronze posthumously.

Degas's "Danseuse" pieces are characterized by their exploration of light, shadow, and form. They often depict the dancers backstage, in rehearsal, or at rest, rather than during a performance, thus providing an intimate glimpse into the world of the Paris Opéra Ballet, which was the main source of inspiration for these works. Degas's dancers are not idealized; they are portrayed in natural, sometimes awkward poses, highlighting the physical demands of their art form.

The "Danseuse" series was not only significant for its innovative representation of the human figure in motion but also for its influence on the development of modern art. Degas's study of movement and his use of unconventional viewpoints were groundbreaking, and his work laid the groundwork for future artistic exploration in these areas.

Today, Degas's "Danseuse" works are held in high esteem and can be found in various museums and collections around the world. They continue to be celebrated for their technical mastery, expressive beauty, and the unique window they provide into the world of dance at the end of the 19th century.
