Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to incorporate safe dance practice into the teaching of high level contemporary dance technique in dance studios, professional companies or venues where flooring is appropriate for the safe teaching of dance.At this level, dance teachers are working with students who already have well-developed technique and performance skills. Teaching methodologies therefore tend to be more tailored to individual needs. Students could also be involved in determining the structure of training programs, which could be based on a specific syllabus or set of teaching resources which the teacher has developed.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
