Muse Dancers are a group of dancers that performed with Muse during the Simulation Theory Tour in 2019. The line-up includes Taylor Sieve, Judson Emery, Brian Davis, Taylor Banks, Keanu Uchida, Andrea Bess, Kelly Dankbar, Lex Ishimoto, Nico Lonetree, Tyy Wells, Andrew Winghart, Patrick Ellis, Brianna Pavon and Savannah Harrison.
The group also has an Instagram account, called musedancers on which they regularly posted various backstage and behind the scenes content aswell as Muse fan content and fan memes. They also did Q&As.
During the shows, they performed during at following songs;
- Algorithm (Alternate Reality Version): The dancers walk onstage, down the catwalk, and surround Matt on the B-Stage, playing trombones.
- Pressure: The dancers move to the wings and march to the beat of the song while playing trombones.
- [Drill Sergeant]: The dancers line-up at the wings and shout "Aye Sir" before leaving the stage.
- Break It To Me: 4 or 6 (depending on whether it's an arena or a stadium show) dancers, wearing hazmat suits, moving up and down mid-air whilst attached to wires infront of the LED screen. They're later joined by four more of them, two at each of the wings on the stage, providing an interesting light-show.
- Uprising: Two performers (one per wing) playing light-up drums.
- Propaganda: Dancers walked around the stage with handheld CO2 cannons which they set off at various points in the song.
- Thought Contagion: Similar to Uprising, two performers are playing light-up drums on each wing, while, during the solo, more of them join Matt on the B-Stage. They represented being "infected", similar to characters in the Simulation Theory music videos, and thus moved around like zombies.
- Dig Down (Acoustic Gospel Version): Dancers slowly moved at the wings. At the end, they're joined by a couple of floating performers who appear infront of the screen. They all wore LED-Strip suits.
- Starlight: Again wearing LED-Strip suits, dancers line-up at the sides of the venue, throwing Hullabaloons into the crowd. This was changed for the EU leg of the tour to be at the start of Knights of Cydonia.
- Algorithm: Dressed as Ninja warriors, the dancers enter the stage and position themselves on the catwalk, doing a choreography with light-up poles.
- Knights of Cydonia: As mentioned before, for the EU leg of the tour, the dancers and the band decided to change the releasing of Hullabaloons to be at the start of Knights of Cydonia. They're still wearing LED-Strip suits and line-up at the sides of the venue before throwing the balloons into the crowd. During the final show if the tour, some of the dancers also went stage diving during the song.
