Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to analyse dance movements and use terminology of dance analysis as a tool in refining dance technique.

The unit applies to those who are dancers with basic skills in any dance style and who are pursuing a career in dance. At this level, dance analysis skills are mainly used as a way of discussing, evaluating and refining individual and group dance techniques and performances. While supervision is provided, some autonomy and judgement can be expected in the process of reaching conclusions about dance performances being analysed.

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