This is in a list of terms that I'm proofreading. I should imagine "Film dancer" is not correct. I have not found a single reference anywhere in a wide search, except for a translation into Spanish as rolo/cilindro tensionador (a Proz question), meaning tensioning roller, or something like that. I am not sure how to provide more context. Other terms include Flachfolienrolle, Presszylinder, Querschweissnaht, etc.

dancer roll
Tänzer innerhalb einer solchen Anlage sind Umlenkrollen. Ich würde erstens "film" ganz weglassen oder film durch "foil" ersetzen, da es hier wahrsch. um Folienerzeugungs- oder Folienverpackungsanlagen geht. Und da ist foil als Ausdruck "more appropriate".

By "a list of terms," I guess you mean a glossary. That's where I agree with David. You need a precise definition.
Though, quite honestly, jobs like this should go to people who specialized in this type of work.
If that's not possible, you really need someone at the company you can talk with. Else, you can't do the job right (speaking from experience).

If you are proofreading, at least tell us the word of which it was a translation as ptherwise we are really in the dark, and only guessing, as JCC is.
