ANATOMY AND CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT COMPONENTS FOR THE ASSOCIATE DIPLOMA
The Associate Diploma has two additional elements besides the practical component to complete the qualification: Anatomy & Physiology of a Classical Dancer and Childhood Development. In the past these were written papers, now, to improve the quality of the Cecchetti education and lift the standard of the teachers, we are introducing two VET units to replace these components. A nationally accredited Statement of Attainment is issued upon completion. The units form part of the CUA40320 Certificate IV in Dance Teaching and Management.
