The dance created include: a solo dance of a minimum of two minutes for each performer; a duet dance of a minimum of three minutes for one to two pairs of performers; a group dance of a minimum of three minutes of eight performers.

To create their own dance, performers must know, understand and be able to apply the following, as appropriate to their choreography:

Action content, including: travel turn elevation gesture stillness use of different body parts floor work transfer of weight.
Dynamic content, including: fast/slow sudden/sustained acceleration/deceleration strong/light direct/indirect flowing/abrupt.
Spatial content, including: pathways levels directions size of movement patterns spatial design.
Relationship content, including: lead and follow mirroring action and reaction accumulation complement and contrast counterpoint contact formations.
Choreographic processes, including: researching improvising generating selecting developing structuring refining and synthesising.
Structuring devices and form, including: binary ternary rondo narrative episodic beginning/middle/end unity logical sequence transitions.
