Where a dancer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a dancer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Dancers interpret ideas, feelings, stories or characters for audiences by using movement and body language mostly accompanied by music. This normally involves interpreting the work of a choreographer or a traditional repertory, although it may sometimes require improvisation.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a dancer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
