This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to incorporate safe dance practice into the teaching of basic contemporary dance techniques.

Dance teachers who specialise in teaching contemporary dance apply the skills and knowledge in this unit. Typically these teachers are working in dance studios or in venues such as community halls, where flooring is appropriate for the safe teaching of dance.

At this level, teachers and instructors may be working from learning programs developed by others, and structuring lesson plans around those programs. Alternatively, they may be devising and conducting classes which are not based on a particular syllabus.

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