80%
31.3/ 100
1 Share of the dance teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the performing arts school dance instructor 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 this move works
A dance teacher role treats 26 of its required skills as things a performing arts school dance instructor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- adapt teaching to student's capabilities
- apply teaching strategies
- assess students
- assist students in their learning
- be a role model in community arts
- bring out performers’ artistic potential
What stands in the way is 5 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 50 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A dance teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a performing arts school dance instructor background worth leading with.
- already held help performers internalise choreographic material communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held devise choreography communication, collaboration and creativity
- 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 inspire dance participants to improve management skills
- already held maintain dance training communication, collaboration and creativity
All 50 carried skills, including the 26 the dance teacher role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 16 missing skills fall into 4 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.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a dance teacher role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 balance participants' personal needs with group needs skill · sector specific
- 02 inspire enthusiasm for dance skill · sector specific
- 03 consult students on learning content skill · cross sector
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
