This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to consolidate basic cultural dance technique and achieve a greater depth of expression in dance classes and performances.

The unit applies to those who are dancers and who are pursuing a career in theatre and other contexts where cultural dancing skills 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. They could be preparing for performances in commercial and community settings where they would usually be performing as members of an ensemble. At this level work is normally supervised, though some autonomy and judgement can be expected within established parameters.

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