    Dance Resume?

    Anyone have any advice on formulating a dance resume for potential employers? Should it look someone similar to an office type resume?

    Maybe someone has a resume I can take a look at for reference?

    Thanks!

    Hi Paula
    Your dance resume should be more in-line with an actor's resume than a business person's. You can generally find examples on actor websites. If you send me your email, I'd be happy to send you my dance resume as a reference.

    Hey Paula, go take a look at my website dalloua.com I have one on there under Mina, then Resume. that's a dancer / actor resume and seems to be the most inline w/ what I have seen done.

    Hi Paula,

    I never use a resume because potential employers don't care about what you have done as much as they do if you can dance. Usually the GP won't be impressed because they won't have heard of the BD festivals and instructors that we tend to put on our resumes.

    I would give them a DVD of a performance that you are proud of instead.

    i agree that a resume would really only be impressive to other dancers -- i plan on keeping one based on an actor's on what i eventually use as a web site, but i think contacts are what get you gigs. contacts, guts, a little luck, etc...


    edited to add: btw, my business card lists this web site, so it's something that ANY prospective student or employer would have extremely easy access (ie immediate!) to.
