Year 10 Dance
10DCE Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mrs S. Tucker.
The Year 10 Dance course is designed for both beginners and more experienced dancers. Students new to dance will develop their technique and skills, and those with a dance background will be able to extend themselves and continue to develop and refine their technical and performance skills.
Students will learn about the elements of dance. They will examine a range of dance genres and understand the way the elements of dance are used in different genres. Students will be taught choreography and have the chance to develop their own, setting them up with the skills they will need at NCEA Level 1 Dance. Students will develop an understanding of the way in which choreographic devices can be used to make movement interesting, unique and engaging. There will be a focus on developing performance skills, stage presence and confidence.
