What will students study in BTEC Dance this year? Students follow the Pearson Edexcel course. They will study three mandatory units: Unit 1: Investigating Practitioners’ Work. Learners investigate the work of performing arts practitioners and develop critical analysis skills and contextual understanding of how practitioners communicate themes in their work. Unit 2: Developing Skills and Techniques for Live Performance. Learners explore technical performance skills with a focus on developing skills and techniques in at least two performance styles. Unit 3: Group Performance Workshop. Learners explore and integrate creative, physical and vocal skills and techniques, working collaboratively to create a performance in response to a given stimulus. There is one optional unit which has been designed to support choices in progression to dance courses in higher education, and to link with relevant occupational areas. At CHSG this is: Unit 12: Contemporary Dance Technique. Learners develop their knowledge, skills and techniques with an emphasis on practical development, application and performance skills. Learners will demonstrate the following: Cognitive and problem-solving skills: use critical thinking, approach non-routine problems applying expert and creative solutions, use systems and technology Intrapersonal skills: communicating, working collaboratively, negotiating and influencing, self-presentation Interpersonal skills: self-management, adaptability and resilience, self-monitoring and development. Year 12: Unit 2 and Unit 3 Year 13: Unit 1 and Unit 12 What are the major assessments this year?
