Spanish term or phrase: monografía, bailables, relación
preparación de la monografía y ejecución de los bailables y relación de nuevos miembros

From a list of activities that must be accomplished before a dance troupe can perform.
Monograph does not fit the context, and the performance itself takes place later so "bailables" does not refer to the performance itself. Relación might refer to the resumes of the new dancers who want to join the troupe, but that seems an odd way of saying it. Any ideas?

Explanation:
Monografía could be a description of the dances. A bailable is a dance, in the sense of a scripted performance, so ejecución de los bailables refers to working out exactly what the dances are going to consist of (choreographing them, in other words), and relación=list, so "report" will work well here, as others have pointed out.

A diferencia de los demás, mantengo que \"bailable\" en este caso no refiere a \"música bailable\", sino a la danza misma.

En cuanto a monografía, la palabra \"monograph\" no se usa tan comunamente en inglés como \"monografía\" en español, ni en contextos como éstos: es claro que refiere a una descripción de la danza.

Thank you for your help! The author told me that "monografía" was an error, and it should have been "schedule of tryouts [which I didn't ask about], choreographing, and rehearsals." And it was "new members list" (not a report--or it could have been a "report on the new members" but space was quite tight--it was a grant proposal.) I feel I should have given points to Jane Lamb, too, but there's no way to do that. (And my apologies that the author started editing what he'd written!)

sounds like they haven\'t done the program yet

instead of pieces it could be: dance routines [their names for the program]

if it\'s classicial or modern classical ballet, you wouldn\'t say \"dance routine\" just dances or pieces.

Thank you for your help! After talking with the author, he told me that "monografía" was an error, and it should have been "schedule of tryouts [which I didn't ask about], choreographying, and rehearsals." I wish I could split the points between you and Good Words...

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Margaret Schroeder: Mostly agree. Blurb is spot-on. Dance routines, yes, but not (music) pieces. "Relación" is a list, doesn't imply bios--likely just a list of names. NOTE ADDED: To infer "bios" without textual evidence merely from what "usually happens" could be an error.

  -> yes, it's not music...dance routines was my second choice...it may be a list but in a program there is usually a short bio, right?
