About the course
The course combines both practical assignments and the study of a variety of dance styles, leading to a series of production projects in the drama studio and at external venues. You will usually be in a class of 16-20 students and will work on group projects as well as individual assignments. In the second year you will produce a final major project. The course focuses on ballet, contemporary dance, jazz, street dance, and intensive workshops including break dance, Indian dance and African dance. You will study the craft of choreography and physical theatre in relation to your production projects and performances. You will also cover the theoretical, social, historical and administrative side of dance. You may be able to study GCSE English and Maths on days when you are not timetabled for dance. Course units include performance workshop, the performing arts business, performing arts in context, acting, choreography, physical theatre, body maintenance, ballet, contemporary dance, tap dance, jazz dance, rehearsing, dance performance and performing (major project). At some points in the year when productions are scheduled, you will need to be in college for extra sessions to rehearse. You will use the college’s modern theatre, performance spaces, changing rooms and costume store, and you will have a personal tutor who will guide and support you throughout your course. In the second year you will receive guidance for applications to university which can be made in January and March.

Additional Opportunities
There will be visits to a variety of performance venues as part of this course.

How will I be assessed?
We encourage your active involvement in the assessment process, which is continuous throughout the year and culminates in a final major project. Reports on your progress will be prepared twice a year.
