This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to add range and depth to contemporary dance technique.

The unit applies to those who are dancers and who wish to refine their technique and expression to produce performances that convey the mood and style of a piece of music or concept, through complex contemporary dance movements. They could be preparing for performances in commercial, competitive or artistic settings where they would usually be performing as members of an ensemble, though some solo work could be expected. While supervision and guidance are provided in practice sessions and rehearsals, they are expected to display a high level of motivation and responsibility for themselves and others when it comes to applying dance technique in a live performance context.

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