Subject Intent: Why Performance: Dance?
Dance is more than just a form of entertainment. Dance builds connections between students and our ever-developing world; it is embedded within every culture and allows us to explore and share traditions.
Studying dance also promotes opportunities for students to develop many personal and employability skills such as collaboration, discipline and adaptability that will benefit our students as they move on to face the challenges found in Higher Education or employment.

Students study a range of dance genres and critically appreciate and analyse a range of professional works which supports their development and understanding. Alongside this students enhance their dance technique and choreography skills which are assessed in a performance environment. Lessons are engaging and dynamic allowing students to explore their own creative vision.
During the course students have the opportunity to work with professional artists through workshops, see a range of live performances and also have the opportunity to gain an insight to the professional dance world through the annual trip to Move it.
What our
students
I love this course because it’s a way to express myself and my passion without fear of judgment from my classmates. I’ve created such strong bonds from these lessons with the students and teacher. We are always going out and having new experiences within the industry to help plan our futures.
