Dance

Curriculum Intent

The aim of the dance course is to fully equip students with practise and experiences in the performing art of dance. Students will not only improve and develop their dance technique, but they will also have a secure understanding of what good dance technique is, and how to improve it.

Dancers will acquire skills to choreograph through practise and experiences with different practitioners as well as understanding what performing and expressive skills are; and how to refine them to assist an audience to understand and enjoy performance.

Dancers will also know how to critically evaluate professional performances, using accurate literacy and written expression and, in turn, improve their own practice with this knowledge.
