    About this qualification

    Here is what the Diploma of Professional Dance Performance for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples qualification offered by NAISDA Dance College covers and who it is designed for.

    This course is designed specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Developing Artists who may have no prior training but limited cultural knowledge. A selection of Developing Artist may have come from a low social economic background, traditionally disengaged in formal learning. Throughout the course Developing Artists will engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, developing cultural connections, learning dance, and song specific to each community. These skills vary from community to community, especially the cultural differences between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. These educational experiences underpin the development of the Developing Artists’ self-identity as Indigenous creative art makers and future cultural leaders. They also develop professional and cultural community networks.

    There are five core imported units (dance, fitness, music composition, audition and career planning) Ten core professional dance performance units (cultural, dance technique, Indigenous arts practice, physical conditioning, complementary skills,) and one elective unit (My Mob, or complex dance pieces).
