Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to teach Cecchetti Ballet classes at intermediate levels and progression through to this level. This level has been separated due to the start of pointe work, and to reflect the physical and mental development of young people aged 13 to 16.Persons wishing to gain a full qualification within Cecchetti Ballet Australia Inc. apply the skills and knowledge in this unit, which is part of a three-year apprenticeship using self-assessment and liaison with a mentor. External studies, including anatomy, childhood development, musicology, first aid and business studies, are also undertaken during the apprenticeship. The knowledge gained from these external studies is applied to the development of lesson plans and delivery, student assessments and the daily running of a ballet school.This unit was developed by Cecchetti Ballet Australia Inc. and is reproduced with permission in the CUA Creative Arts and Culture Training Package.
