Dance

Course summary

The course is made up of 3 main strands; performance, choreography and appreciation. Students will develop knowledge of areas of study from dance history, as well as a deeper understanding of a set work to critically analyse in terms of its content and context. Students will select a key practitioner from history to reproduce a solo in thier style and dance as part of a group in performance. Students will also choreograph a group dance to demonstrate thorough investigation, research, craft and manipulation of movement material. Prior training or experience in dance is a huge asset, including GCSE Dance. Skills that develop your coordination, kinesthetic awareness, and flexibility can be an advantage too such as martial arts, gymnastics and cheerleading. A good writing style is important and a creative mind will suit this course.
