Why study Dance?
This is a fantastic course for students who enjoy all aspects of dance and wish to extend their practical skills to include technique, performance and choreography skills. You will become more confident in expressing yourself and communicating ideas as well as working in groups and individually. The course also builds on your appreciation of dance pieces performed by others, including professionals.
What will I study?
You will develop your own performance skills performing as part of a group and individually. You will also develop your own choreography skills through applying different devices and principles.
Through observation and analysis, you will learn to evaluate your own dance choreography and performances, as well as pieces from professional companies, to include consideration of the lighting, set design costumes and accompaniments that they use.
How will I study?
Lessons are mainly practical based and you will work individually on tasks, as well as part of groups, in order to develop technique, choreography skills and performance skills. A proportion of the lessons will be focused on preparation for the written exam.
How will my work be assessed?
Practical exam 60%
- Set phrase solo
- Duet/trio performance
- Choreography piece
Written exam 40%
- Dance Appreciation; a 90 minute written exam.
