Dance

The Dance Department offers a powerful and expressive subject to study at GCSE level. It encourages students to develop their creative, physical, emotional and intellectual capacity, whatever their previous experience in the subject. The course is split into three areas: performance, choreography and dance appreciation. Students will study a range of professional works which will help develop their ability to critically analyse works. These works have been selected to broaden students’ knowledge and understanding of the wide range of dance choreographed and performed in the UK today.
