Unit of Competency CUAWHS601 - Apply advanced gym and weight training to ballet
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required by male ballet and contemporary dancers performing at a professional level who are required to perform lifts during the execution of pas de deux and other complex dance sequences with a partner.Exercises to develop correct lifting techniques are undertaken in gyms or in facilities with a range of resistance training equipment. At this level individuals are expected to demonstrate a strong command of highly specialised performance technique and to apply a high level of professionalism and dedication to their weight training regime.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 equipped 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.
