Employers have their own format and tactics to select an applicant for a job post. You never know on what basis they will decide whether to call you for an interview or not. It is always good or should I say that the best thing to do is to present your skills, talents and experience in the best possible way. So, prepare your resume and cover letter well. Any of this can become the deciding factor to get you a call or eventually help you get the job. For an exciting career such as dancing, your resume may not always help. In fact, at times the cover letter may grab the attention of the employer, who may find it interesting and finally persuade him or her to read your resume. Dancer cover letter should be the first step in your job search and hence prepare it in the best possible way. Include the information that is relevant for the job post.
How do you get the attention of the employer?
Prepare the cover letter and follow the right format. This includes the introduction, the body of the letter and the closing paragraph.
The introduction of the letter should indicate the purpose of applying for the job post. If it is a good organization/ company, it is always good to include the job post you are seeking. The letter should indicate where you have learned about the job post which may be responding to the job post, or may simply being referred by person in the company.
The next important part is the body of the letter, which should highlight your achievements and accomplishments. It should relate to the job post and show the employer that you can be the right applicant for the job post. It shows your strong personal traits that makes you an ideal candidate.
The concluding paragraph should state your urge for an interview but in a professional manner. Make their task easier to call you, hence include your contact details again here.
A sample cover letter will show you how to write this letter in a professional way and create the necessary impact upon the potential employer.

Dear Mr. / Ms. (Employer's Last Name),
I was excited to learn about opening for the post of dancer in your organization (mention the name here). I believe my training and experience in this field will prove to be a great asset to your company. Please accept my resume, which will give you detail information about my experience and educational background.
Dancing was once my hobby but my love and passion for it has made me take this as my career. I have learned different dance forms and some of them are modern hip-hop to classical dancing. I have participated in the dance competition at national level and won the second prize. I have recently returned from France where I showed my skills and showcased my talent in both classical as well as western dance forms. People appreciated my talent and I got the first prize there.
I would appreciate if you could look at my resume and consider me for the post. It would be an honor for me to work in your organization. Please conduct a follow up interview wherein we can discuss on this more. I can be contacted at (insert contact details) or email me at (mention your email address).

This is how you can write a dancer cover letter. This letter is important to balance the tone. Although this is professional document, yet you can keep the tone conversational. It should further focus on how you can benefit the employer's requirement and not indicate what you expect from them.
