This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to perform complex ballet technique demonstrating range, depth, precision and artistry across classical and contemporary repertoire at the professional level.
Performance Evidence of the ability to use physical control throughout performances, including pas de deux. Demonstrate through the execution of sequences the following fundamental dance skills: high level of coordination of limbs, torso and head high level of spatial awareness in group movements alignment and extensions in highly difficult combinations skills and speed in directional changes reproduction of complex movement sequences on both sides of the body develop professional practice use ballet and stage terminology correctly. Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once. Knowledge Evidence: the individual must explain how the following principles relate to physical movements and ballet technique: extending folding relationship with gravity rotating shifting weight spatial awareness successional movement use of breath. Explain how the following apply in the context of safe dance practice and injury prevention: articulation of the spine engagement of the feet bases of support, including feet, legs, hands, arms and torsorange of motion of the joints differentiation of the legs and pelvis explain and demonstrate how the musical elements of time signatures, beat, tempo and syncopation apply to ballet technique, demonstrate understanding of the fundamental technical principles in classical ballet, demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of the history and philosophical nature of ballet.
