Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to show range, depth, precision and complexity in a chosen dance technique and repertoire at a professional level.
The unit applies to those who are dancers and who are moving towards professional careers in contexts where complex dance technique is required for performing as members of a dance company as an ensemble or soloist dancer or in other professional contexts. At this level, they are constantly refining their technique and perfecting their artistry across complex dance sequences and repertoire, including improvisation, solo and group work. While some supervision and guidance are provided, they are expected to display a high level of motivation and responsibility for themselves and others during practice sessions, rehearsals and live performances.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
