CERTIFICATE IV in DANCE TEACHING & MANAGEMENT (Cert IV DTM)
CUA40320 - Creative Arts and Culture Training Package
Duration - 2 years
Rockit provides groundbreaking training in dance education. Currently leaders in their field for their inclusive practices that cover a range of education techniques for dancers with and without disabilities, this certification course aims at providing educational opportunities for the next generation of inclusive and technically driven teachers and studio managers. It is Miss Noni's goal to create the next generation of influential, respectful and creative leaders.
The Certificate IV in Dance Teaching and Management (CUA40320) through ATOD equips students with advanced pedagogical, entrepreneurial, and technical skills for careers in dance education and studio management. Lesson planning and curriculum design are core components, where students learn to structure programs, incorporating objectives for movement, social development, and performance appraisal. They engage in sequencing lessons, integrating resources like CUADAN102 (ballet) and CUADAN105 (street dance) to build style-specific syllabi.
Business management training covers studio operations, including budgeting, legal compliance (e.g., copyright, insurance), and strategic planning for new ventures using units like business opportunities and operational strategies. Marketing skills focus on ethical promotion, digital outreach, and event coordination, with practical training in marketing assistance.
OHS principles emphasize safe dance environments, injury prevention, and emergency response, guided by child safety and first aid. Teaching ethics are reinforced through Ausdance's Code of Ethics, which mandates confidentiality, non-disparagement of peers, and anatomically sound instruction while prioritizing student wellbeing.
The program emphasizes inclusive teaching techniques, training educators to adapt lessons for diverse needs, including physical anomalies or learning styles, and to foster emotional safety through child wellbeing. Choreography training includes creating age- and skill-appropriate routines and analysing music-dance relationships.
Graduates emerge prepared to lead studios, design curricula, and navigate the business of dance while upholding ethical and safety standards. Graduates of this course will gain qualifications for job roles such as dance teacher, special needs dance teacher, classroom assistant, assistant dance teacher, choreographer, program coordinator, dance curriculum developer, dance studio administrator/receptionist, studio manager, dance program director, community outreach coordinator for dance, dance education consultant, dance therapy assistant, dance workshop facilitator and dance schools admissions coordinator.
