Overview

The Certificate II in Dance is one of the courses in 51³Ô¹Ï¶ÌÊÓƵs RTO scope of registration.

VET in schools multiplies opportunities for students. ÌýThey enable students to complete a nationally recognised vocational qualification as well as contribute towards their VCE Certificate.

The Dance program is delivered over two years. Classroom learning is combined with structured hands-on training and practice in industry. The aim of this program is to:

• Allow learners to develop basic technical skills to prepare for work in the Creative Arts industry.
• Develop technical dance and performance skills aligned to the Australian Qualifications Framework at Level II.
• Demonstrate style specific technical and expressive skills and proficiency in 2 of the following dance styles: Jazz, Contemporary and Lyrical dance.

Structured Workplace Learning

The VCAA has determined that work placement is an appropriate and valuable component of all VET programs. It provides the context for:

• enhancement of skills development
• practical application of industry knowledge
• assessment of units of competence, as determined by the RTO

It is often difficult to find suitable work placements for all dance students. To overcome this situation at 51³Ô¹Ï¶ÌÊÓƵ we provide students with exposure to a work environment through organized industry visits, for example live performances and dance companies and through involvement in performances, e.g. eisteddfods and school productions.

Contribution to the VCE

On completion of the program students are eligible for four credits towards their VCE certificate, two at units 1 and 2 level and a 3 and 4 sequence.Ìý Students wishing to receive an ATAR contribution must undertake scored assessment for the purpose of achieving a study score. This study score can contribute directly to the primary four or as a fifth or sixth subject.
