The jobs for the post of dancers and choreographers are available in a wide range of fields including private educational services, which includes dance studios and schools, colleges and universities; food services and drinking establishments; performing arts companies, which include dance, theater, and opera companies and so on.

As a choreographer you should have skills like originality to come up with new ideas and creative ways, communication skills to make people understand your ideas, smooth body coordination to coordinate the movement of your arms, legs, and torso together during performances, spatial orientation to use your location in relation to the environment, dynamic strength and flexibility and many more.

Dear Mr. Robinson,
In response to your advertisement in ‘Daily Motion’ on 23/ 8/ 2010 this Monday, I am enclosing my resume and a few letters of recommendation for my work so as to apply for the job of a choreographer in your Academy. I plan to quit my current job as I am shifting my residence which happens to be near your esteemed academy.
I take pride in my background in dance and ten years of experience staging choreography presentations in my past job. Unfortunately, I intend to discontinue working in my current organization but I own a reputation, love and support from my seniors in the company as will reflect from my letters of recommendation attached herein. They can provide some first-hand comments on my skills.
We can schedule an interview at any time between 11 am to 5 pm on any day of the week. Just call me at 222-333-4455 and specify a time and date and I’ll be there. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance for your consideration of my application.
Sincerely,
Martha Anderson
