Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare for and perform for an audience a cultural dance repertoire to a professional level. It includes critically evaluating performances and engaging in professional development. The unit applies to those who are dancers and who are moving towards professional careers in contexts where advanced performance skills in cultural dance styles are required. Cultural dancing includes styles such as belly dancing, Irish dancing, Highland dancing, Spanish and Indian dancing, as well as character dance sequences in ballets. Performances could be in commercial, community or competitive settings and they would usually be performing as members of an ensemble and in some solo routines. At this level, individuals 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, they 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.
