Dance

Course summary

The course is made up of 3 main strands: performance, choreography and appreciation. Students will be required to take part in regular technique class and will regularly choreograph work of their own in a variety of styles. 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 his/her style and dance as part of a group in performance. Students will also choreograph a group dance on others to demonstrate thorough investigation, research, craft and manipulation of movement material.
