1 Share of the dancer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the dance répétiteur 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

Why this move works

A dancer role treats 14 of its required skills as things a dance répétiteur already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • describe artistic experience
  • develop the physical language
  • follow time cues
  • intellectual property law
  • labour legislation
  • maintain safe working conditions in performing arts

What stands in the way is 18 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 26 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A dancer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a dance répétiteur background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held understand the physical language of a live performance 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 read dance scores communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held inspire enthusiasm for dance management skills
  • already held teach dance communication, collaboration and creativity

All 26 carried skills, including the 14 the dancer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 27 missing skills fall into 3 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.

Note

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.
