Dancer CV Example
Below is a breakdown of what makes a dancer CV work — with a real live example you can open and review. Each point is based on what casting teams and booking agencies actually check when they open a profile.
View the demo CV →What this CV does well
Genre listed specifically — not just 'dancer'
Latin, Contemporary, Jazz, Ballet — each discipline is named. Bookers casting for a specific show or cruise production search by genre. A generic 'dancer' entry gets skipped.
Performance video plays inside the CV
The video is hosted directly on PerformerCV and plays in the page — no redirect to YouTube, no leaving the profile. Bookers stay focused on the artist, not navigating back from another tab.
Physical stats visible at a glance
Height, hair colour, eye colour, and age are shown in the header strip. A CV missing basic information signals an unprepared artist — and a booker who already has doubts is unlikely to invest time in the video.
Availability date shown upfront
If a booker is filling a contract starting in three months and the availability date isn't visible, they move on. One visible date saves a round of back-and-forth email.
One link — shareable in two seconds
The CV lives at a permanent URL. A booker who saw the profile in a WhatsApp message can forward it to a production director immediately, without attachments or downloads.
