Level 1 Dance

Level One Dance

Level One is the senior entrance course into the world of Dance. Students develop their choreography and performance skills as well as literacy skills, as a written report is a requirement now of one of the new external assessment standards.

Students will complete a number of smaller briefs which then get averaged out to obtain their overall grade. Students will be working in groups and pairs and have the option of presenting solo work also. The course suits students who have a strong interest in dance, and requires a high level of self-discipline and commitment. Students must be able to contribute to and participate effectively in group work, and have the ability to consistently maintain focus on set tasks. 

It is recommended that those taking Level 1 Dance have some background knowledge of dance techniques and styles, though this is not essential. Students will undertake two internal assessments and one written external assessment, totaling 16 credits.

Leadership and choreography roles for school troupes and shows may also be on offer.
