Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop a high level of expertise in cultural dance technique or in physical disciplines that use advanced movement skills.At this level, dancers are constantly refining their technique and expression to produce performances that convey the mood and style of music through complex dance movements.This unit applies to those who are consolidating their career where cultural dancing skills are required, for example performing character dances in ballets. Performances could be in commercial or competition settings and dancers would usually be performing as members of an ensemble, though some solo work could be expected.The skills in this unit can also be applied in physical disciplines such as martial arts or fencing where movements are closely allied to dance.While some supervision and guidance are provided in practice sessions and rehearsals, dancers are expected to be self-directed and display a high level of motivation and responsibility for themselves and others.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
