Repertoire & Notable Roles

This section of your CV highlights the stage experience you’ve gained so far — the ballets, roles, and choreographers you’ve worked with. Whether you’ve danced major roles or been part of the corp de ballet, every performance counts toward shaping your professional journey.

Why It’s Important

Your repertoire gives directors a quick insight into your artistic range, technical strengths, and stylistic background. It shows them the kinds of ballets and productions you’ve worked on and the choreographers who have influenced your dancing. If you’ve performed work similar to what the company stages — that’s a big plus.

Structuring Your Repertoire

How you present yourself here matters. Keep the layout clean and consistent. Use your discretion when deciding how to group your work:

Principal & Soloist Roles: Consider listing these separately to give them extra visibility.
Creations: Original roles or works created on you should also stand out.
Choreographers: If you’ve worked with renowned or diverse choreographers, highlight their names — this adds depth to your training and performance history.

If you’re earlier in your career and haven’t danced lead roles yet — don’t worry! Include everything you’ve performed, even in student or ensemble settings. Every role contributes to your stage maturity and versatility.

Keep It Clear & Chronological

Your most recent performances should come first. Listing in reverse chronological order makes it easier to update over time and helps readers see your current level and momentum.

For each role, try to include:

Role (if applicable)
Production name
Choreographer
Company or school
Year

Final Thoughts

Your Repertoire section is not just a list — it’s a reflection of your artistic story. Focus on clarity and relevance. Showcase your experience confidently, and remember: it’s not about quantity, but about how you’ve grown through the roles you’ve danced.
