This unit is designed to engage and instruct students in the dance technique of classical ballet.  Additional training in men's classes, pointe work and pas de deux are optional.  This unit provides in-depth study of the positions and combinations of ballet with the importance of daily class emphasised and linked to the development of reflective practice.  Safe dance principles are promoted through an emphasis on correct alignment and increased kinaesthetic awareness. The importance of physical, social and cultural sustainability relating to artform practice and professional career paths is also embraced in this unit through: the choice of repertoire; engagement with industry partners; building social and cultural confidence via exposure to diverse performance environments locally, nationally, regionally and internationally.
