This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to create short dance pieces in different dance styles, including tap, jazz, contemporary, street and cultural dance. This involves developing choreography and organising staging of the performance, including lighting and audio requirements.

The unit applies to those who are dance teachers and choreographers. They plan, compose and stage, but do not perform in, short dance pieces. Dance pieces may be for dance school productions or other non-professional contexts. Work is usually undertaken with some supervision, though autonomy and judgement can be expected given the nature of the creative process.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
