At age 18, Dyer joined The Royal Ballet where in his first season was chosen to create a role in Wayne McGregor’s ‘Limen’.

His first principal role was in Christopher Wheeldon’s ‘Polyphonia’ where he partnered Beatriz Stix-Brunell. Dyer was regarded as a diverse and eloquent dancer with reviews stating ‘He moves with richness, strength and grace; not just someone who strings together steps, but a real dancer.’ (The Guardian) and ‘Appealingly vulnerable’ (The New York Times).
