BTEC National Extended Certificate in Performing Arts (Dance Focus)
Course summary
Students will develop both their practical dance skills and their theoretical understanding of Dance. Students complete 4 units across the two year programme. • Unit 1 (External Assessment): Investigating Practitioners’ work - Students study the work of two professional choreographers • Unit 2 (Internal Assessment): Developing Skills and Techniques – Students explore the role of a dancer by developing their skills in two dance styles • Unit 3 (External Assessment): Group Performance Workshop – Students work in a group to produce a dance production of 10-20 minutes on a set theme • Unit 22 (Internal Assessment): Movement in performance – Students explore the movement components of action, space, dynamics and relationships Usually we combine our Year 12 and Year 13 Dance students into one class and therefore the order of units may rotate to allow for this. The qualification is equivalent in size to one A level and is designed to occupy one option block and be combined with other vocational or academic qualifications, such as other BTECs or A levels.
