1 Share of the performing arts school dance instructor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the dance teacher 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 performing arts school dance instructor role treats 23 of its required skills as things a dance teacher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt teaching to student's capabilities
  • apply teaching strategies
  • assess students
  • assessment processes
  • bring out performers’ artistic potential
  • create a work environment where performers can develop their potential

What stands in the way is 7 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 50 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A performing arts school dance instructor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a dance teacher background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held evolution in delivery practices in practiced dance tradition arts and humanities
  • already held keep up to date on professional dance practice information skills
  • already held devise choreography communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held help performers internalise choreographic material communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held inspire dance participants to improve management skills
  • already held maintain dance training communication, collaboration and creativity

All 50 carried skills, including the 23 the performing arts school dance instructor role treats as required.

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.
