This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare for and assist with teaching dance classes.

The unit applies to those who are assistant dance teachers and senior students with several years of dance experience who teach basic dance techniques to younger and newer students. Classes are conducted in dance studios or in venues such as community halls that are equipped for the safe teaching of dance. Individuals operate under the guidance and supervision of senior dance teachers, but some autonomy is expected when they are teaching classes.

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