Higher or Standard Level

This dance course is designed to offer students the opportunity to build on prior experience in dance while encouraging a broad approach to the subject. It aims to foster an appreciation of world dance through various cultures’ lenses. It provides students with the appropriate foundation for further study in dance history, theory, and practice at the university level or in other dance career pathways. 

Examining dance from familiar and unfamiliar cultures or traditions will develop their comparative-thinking skills and deepen students understanding of their own culture. Students will study a variety of world dance forms through exposure to physical practice and observation, as well as written investigation.  Both standard level and higher level students are required to compose and/or arrange dances, and to analyse the process.  Students will also demonstrate their ability to articulate dance movements physically and to perform for an audience at our annual dance showcase Aspire and Choreography Evening. This course lends itself to students who have a greater appreciation for the arts and are interested in developing their appreciation of dance as global discourse. Throughout the course, students will engage in various workshops from external professional dance companies, as well as partake in the annual dance camp led by industry experts.
