Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to show range, depth, precision and complexity across ballet technique at a professional level in various ballet styles. The unit applies to those who are moving towards professional careers.

At this level, they are constantly expanding and perfecting their artistry across complex dance sequences and repertoire, including solo and ensemble work. While some supervision and guidance are provided, they are expected to display a high level of motivation and responsibility for themselves and others during practice sessions, rehearsals and live performances.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
