Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required mainly by male dancers and performers, to improve their weight lifting capacity. These skills are commonly applied in dance genres, such as ballet and contemporary dance, as well as in acrobatic circus performances.Exercises are undertaken in gyms or in facilities with a range of resistance training equipment. Individuals are expected to apply some discretion and judgement to their exercise regime and to take responsibility for their own outputs.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to a gym with a range of equipment and resources for weight training.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
