Dance
This award gives students the opportunity to develop sector-specific knowledge and skills in a practical learning environment. The focus over the course is on four equal areas which cover:
- Development of key skills that prove a student’s ability in Performing Arts such as reproducing repertoire or responding to a stimulus.
- Processes that underpin effective ways of working in the Performing Arts, such as developing ideas, rehearsals and performance.
- Attitudes that are considered most important in the Performing Arts, including personal management, organisation and communication.
- Knowledge that underpins effective use of skills, processes and attitudes in the sector such as roles, responsibilities, performance disciplines and styles.
-
All students in Key Stage 3 are taught a dance unit in Physical Education lessons to prepare them for future courses. There is also an extracurricular dance club which runs throughout the year and gives students opportunities to explore dance styles and develop their own choreographic skills.
