Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to show range, depth, precision and complexity across ballet technique and classical and contemporary repertoire at a professional level.This unit applies to dancers who are moving towards professional careers in contexts where complex ballet technique is required for performing as members of a dance company as a soloist and in other professional contexts.At this level, dancers are constantly expanding and perfecting their artistry across complex dance sequences and repertoire, including pas de deux repertoire and solo and group work.While some 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 during practice sessions, rehearsals and live performances.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
