Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to create and present choreography in a variety of dance styles for informal presentations. This involves applying elements of shape, space, time and dynamics to movement and dance.

The unit applies to those who are performing the choreography themselves for a dance class or teaching others how to perform the choreography for a non-professional performance. Work is usually undertaken under some supervision, though autonomy and judgement can be expected given the nature of the creative process.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
