Piers Gielgud was born in London. He initially trained as an actor at Bretton Hall College, before training as a dancer at the Ballet Rambert School, from where he graduated with distinction. After graduation, he joined London Festival Ballet (now English National Ballet) under Peter Schaufuss, where he danced in Maurice Bejart's Bolero, and Rudolf Nureyev's Romeo and Juliet. He then joined the Lindsay Kemp Company (whose former members include David Bowie) as a principal dancer, after which he enjoyed a wide and varied freelance career dancing in all areas of the industry, for choreographers as diverse as Lea Anderson and Karole Armitage and for film directors, including Derek Jarman, Jon Amiel, Marcus Adams and James Ivory. A World Tour as a dancer, with the techno band Meatbeat Manifesto inspired him to form his own small ballet company Re. Animator in 1992, which toured and performed a unique and diverse series of his highly theatrical full length works, every year until 2000. The company's farewell performance was a memorial tribute to his great-uncle John Gielgud, at the Wimbledon Theatre. During this time he enjoyed successful collaborations with the designers Craig Morrison, Zara Conway, and Jane Wildgoose - the Costume Designer of Clive Barker's Hellraiser. He also successfully collaborated with the composers Jack Dangers (Meatbeat Manifesto) and Donna Mckevitt (Miranda Sex Garden/the Pook Ensemble).

He also successfully devised and ran Employment Service training programs for unemployed professional dancers from 1992 - 2002. This included curating the annual Play at Home season at the Wimbledon Studio Theatre, where new choreographers were able to showcase their work.

His first choreography commission was for the idents of the Bristol Animation Festival in 1988, followed by idents for the televised Variety Club Awards in 1989, French TV commercials for Chambourcy also in 1989, and 'Maryland' for Rambert School graduates in 1991.
