Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to apply an understanding of the connection between safe dance practice, and nutrition principles and human body structure.Dancers and other performers apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit in daily training sessions to avoid injury or to adjust their approach to physical conditioning. This unit also applies to dance teachers who impart this knowledge to learners to facilitate informed discussion about safe dance practice.At this level people take responsibility for their own outputs and activity is usually self-directed, though some guidance from teachers or mentors could be expected.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:

project or work activities that allow candidates to expand their knowledge of anatomy and nutrition principles.

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

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Consolidate understanding of anatomy and anatomical structures
  • Discuss with relevant personnel how an understanding of anatomy can contribute to developing safe dance techniques and movement skills
  • Use a wide range of anatomical terminology relevant to context
  • Identify how anatomical structures respond to physical activity
  • Apply a sound understanding of injury-avoidance techniques to dance and movement activities
       
Element: Make connections between anatomy principles and own performance technique or teaching practice
  • Assess ways in which knowledge of anatomy may be used, adapted or challenged in relation to own performance technique or teaching practice
  • Discuss with relevant personnel how own technique or teaching practice can be improved by applying a knowledge of nutritional principles
  • Distil key themes in knowledge of anatomy to identify implications for development of own teaching practice
  • In consultation with relevant personnel adjust own physical conditioning program and approach to development of technique or teaching practice as required
       
Element: Maintain and update knowledge of anatomy and nutrition principles
  • Identify and use opportunities to update and expand own knowledge of anatomy and nutrition
  • Monitor response to changes made to own performance practice or teaching methodology
  • Continue to adjust own practice to optimise results
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Elements

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance Criteria

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Consolidate understanding of anatomy and anatomical structures

1.1 Discuss with relevant personnel how an understanding of anatomy can contribute to developing safe dance techniques and movement skills

1.2 Use a wide range of anatomical terminology relevant to context

1.3 Identify how anatomical structures respond to physical activity

1.4 Apply a sound understanding of injury-avoidance techniques to dance and movement activities

2. Make connections between anatomy principles and own performance technique or teaching practice

2.1 Assess ways in which knowledge of anatomy may be used, adapted or challenged in relation to own performance technique or teaching practice

2.2 Discuss with relevant personnel how own technique or teaching practice can be improved by applying a knowledge of nutritional principles

2.3 Distil key themes in knowledge of anatomy to identify implications for development of own teaching practice

2.4 In consultation with relevant personnel adjust own physical conditioning program and approach to development of technique or teaching practice as required

3. Maintain and update knowledge of anatomy and nutrition principles

3.1 Identify and use opportunities to update and expand own knowledge of anatomy and nutrition

3.2 Monitor response to changes made to own performance practice or teaching methodology

3.3 Continue to adjust own practice to optimise results

Evidence of the ability to:

gather information about anatomy and nutrition principles to improve own practice

engage in informed discussions about safe dance practice

apply knowledge of the human skeletal and muscular systems to enhance safe dance practice

maintain currency of knowledge of anatomy and nutrition and its application to safe dance practice.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.

To complete the unit requirements the individual must:

describe sources of information about anatomy and nutrition in relation to safe dance practice

demonstrate well-developed knowledge of:

systems of the body

main muscles of the body

bone structure properties

alignment principles

healthy eating practices

relationship between anatomical structures and dance functions

how skeletal muscle develops, grows and repairs itself.


Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
