Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to extend cultural dance skills to a professional level and engage in professional development.This unit applies to dancers who are moving towards professional careers in contexts where advanced performance skills in cultural dance styles are required. Performances could be in commercial, community or competition settings and dancers would usually be performing as members of an ensemble or in some solo routines.At this level, they are constantly refining their technique and expression to produce performances that convey the mood and style of music through complex dance sequences.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 live performances.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
