I see it time and time again. When I go to a show and open my program the longest dancer bios will be from the youngest dancers. I think we feel pressure early on to match the caliber of artist that we share the stage with, but in fact, those dancers will end up having the shortest bios.
In this episode, Brandon talks about how to write your first bios and the value of keeping them short and sweet. How do we cut down the embellishment, the word count, and added extras that end up shining a light on our lack of experience instead of highlighting the accomplishments we should be proud of.
Sample template:
[YOUR NAME] is originally from [WHERE YOU’RE FROM]. [HE/ SHE/ THEY] graduated from [SCHOOL NAME] in [OPTIONAL DATE] with a [DEGREE] and received additional training from [1-3 WORKSHOPS OR TRAINING PROGRAMS]. [FIRST OR LAST NAME] has performed the works of [2-3 CHOREOGRAPHERS] and is currently [CURRENT JOB or “FREELANCER”] based in [WHERE YOU LIVE].
