Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to consolidate basic street dance technique and achieve a greater depth of expression in dance classes and performances.
The unit applies to those who are dancers and who are pursuing a career in theatre and other contexts where street dancing skills are required. Street dancing includes styles such as hip-hop, break dance, popping, locking, Nu School, krump and house. They could be preparing for performances in commercial, community or open space settings where they would usually be performing as members of an ensemble. At this level work is normally supervised, though some autonomy and judgement can be expected within established parameters.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
