PADWD2004 DANCE 4
The dance component of the course is taught in a streamed manner. Students work in class at a skill level relevant to their physical aptitude for dance and their prior learning. This streaming is determined by the lecturer, and may involve working with students from a different year level. However, the skills, knowledge and values expected from each year level related to the assessment criteria will differ. This mode of learning facilitates optimum pedagogic outcomes in relation to skills whilst allowing for curriculum differentiation. This course extends skills and techniques learnt in Dance 3. This dance stream continues postural alignment, barre work and centre work incorporating techniques of various dance and physical theatre forms. The dance styles taught will include: jazz/music theatre dance, tap, classical ballet and contemporary dance. Dance as soloists, collaborative creation and variety in style and form will feature more distinctively. Skills covered will include stretching techniques, turning, isolation and complementary movement as well as the interpretation of various historic and contemporary dance pieces to an advanced level. Rhythm and counting are also covered with an emphasis on tap as a form of percussive accompaniment.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $776
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $664
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
