This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to add range and depth to cultural dance techniques.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. They could be preparing for performances in commercial or competition settings where they 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 supervision and guidance are provided in practice sessions and rehearsals, dancers are expected to display a high level of motivation and responsibility for themselves and others when it comes to applying dance technique in a live performance context.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
