choreographertochoreologist
A choreographer already meets 78% of what the choreologist role asks for. The move turns on 5 required skills not yet in the profile.
78%
32.7/ 100
1 Share of the choreologist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the choreographer profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A choreologist role treats 20 of its required skills as things a choreographer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- art-historical values
- be a role model in community arts
- create a work environment where performers can develop their potential
- create choreographic material
- demonstrate specialisation in a dance tradition
- describe artistic experience
What stands in the way is 5 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 31 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A choreologist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a choreographer background worth leading with.
- already held demonstrate specialisation in a dance tradition communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held notate different dances communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held create new fight sequences communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held understand the conceptual dimension of a live performance communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held work with broad variety of personalities communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held match needs of target community with your skills management skills
All 31 carried skills, including the 20 the choreologist role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 10 missing skills fall into 4 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.
- required, not held act as a resource person in dance required
- required, not held draw up choreography required
- required, not held log changes in choreography required

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a choreologist role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 act as a resource person in dance skill · occupation specific
- 02 draw up choreography skill · occupation specific
- 03 log changes in choreography skill · occupation specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
