Dancer and Choreographer Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the past eight years shaping routines that sit well with the stage and the audience, and I’ve found that a clear sense of timing and space is what makes a piece land. In the last tour I helped adapt a contemporary work for 12 performers across two venues, and we managed to stay within a 3 percent variance in tempo across shows. That practical constraint keeps the dancers honest and the storytelling precise. My strengths lie in dance technique, choreographic interpretation and notating choreography so the team can pick up a routine quickly. I’m comfortable coordinating body movement and facial expression to support a character arc, and I’m used to travelling between venues for rehearsals. I’m keen to bring strong musical timing and stage presence to [Company Name] and to work closely with cast and designers to meet the creative brief. One moment that sticks is a mid rehearsal where a minor shift in spatial design unlocked a larger emotional beat. We adjusted camera and stage flow, then revised a sequence to maintain the energy without forcing movement. The change helped the ensemble stay cohesive while the audience experienced a clearer narrative arc, and the crew reported fewer retakes after the update. I’m available for a chat about how I can contribute to [Company Name]. If convenient, I’d be glad to discuss upcoming projects and how my experience with choreography creation and performance fits with your plans. Kind regards, [Your Name]
