Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to improvise advanced dance sequences.Dancers who apply improvisation techniques could be performing improvised sequences in dance classes, auditions and rehearsals, or in live performances.At this level improvisations would be relatively complex in nature and could be applied to a variety of dance styles.Work is usually undertaken under supervision, though some autonomy and judgement can be expected given the nature of improvisation.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
