Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to explore and develop choreography in a variety of dance styles for informal presentations by applying elements of shape, space, time and dynamics. Dancers who apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit, could be performing the choreography themselves for a dance class or teaching others how to perform the choreography for a non-professional performance.Work is usually undertaken under some supervision, though autonomy and judgement can be expected given the nature of the creative process.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
