Year 12 Dance

The Senior Dance course is a hands-on, practical experience focused on dance as a form of non-verbal communication. Students will explore various dance genres, including salsa, hip hop, contemporary, and musical theatre, learning to express ideas through movement. The course emphasizes both individual and group performances, where students will rehearse and showcase their large and small group dances. 

Key components of the course include working collaboratively to create original choreography, analysing and identifying features of different dance styles, and describing how these styles convey ideas. Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of how dance communicates and the artistic elements involved. 

The class is composed of Year 11, 12, and 13 students, with assessments based on Level 2 and 3 standards. Students are expected to gain skills across all areas of dance, completing between 12 and 18 credits for assessment.
