Application

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to plan and organise classes to teach dance and movement skills to a range of target groups.

This unit applies to people working as teachers or instructors in dance schools or studios. It also applies to people responsible for teaching movement skills for recreational or remedial purposes.

At this level, teachers and instructors may be working from learning programs developed by others, and structuring session plans around those programs. Alternatively, they may be devising and conducting classes which are not based on a particular syllabus.

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