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.
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECUs LMS
