This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare for and execute a ballet performance at a professional level. This involves showing range, depth, precision and complexity across ballet technique in performance of classical and contemporary repertoire.

The unit applies to those who are moving towards professional careers in contexts where complex ballet technique is required for performing at a professional level, as members of a dance company as a soloist and in ensembles. At this level, they are constantly expanding and perfecting their artistry across complex dance sequences and repertoire and in varying professional-level performances 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.
