Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to teach Cecchetti Ballet classes at the Pre Primary, Primary and Grade 1 levels and progression through the levels. These levels have been clustered to reflect the physical and mental development of students through early childhood, specifically ages 4 to 6.
Persons wishing to gain a full qualification in Cecchetti Ballet Australia Inc. apply the skills and knowledge in this unit, which is part of a three-year apprenticeship using self-assessment and liaison with a mentor. External studies, including anatomy, childhood development, musicology, first aid and business studies, are also undertaken during the apprenticeship. The knowledge gained from these external studies is applied to the development of lesson plans and delivery, student assessments and the daily running of a ballet school.
This unit was developed by Cecchetti Ballet Australia Inc. and is reproduced with permission in the CUA Creative Arts and Culture Training Package. Registered training organisations wishing to deliver this unit must be licensed to do so by Cecchetti Ballet Australia Inc.
