Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop complex improvisation skills and perform improvised dance sequences.
The unit applies to those who perform improvised dance sequences in dance classes, auditions and rehearsals, or in live performances. At this level, improvisations are complex in nature and could be applied to a variety of dance styles. Work is usually undertaken under supervision, though some autonomy and judgement can be expected given the nature of improvisation.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
