High school dance offers a journey of understanding dance as an art form. The study of dance as an art form in education is based on the study of three interrelated components: Performance, Composition and Appreciation. Students will benefit from the confidence of exploring composition, growing their performance skills and becoming confident with analysis and verbal skills. These skills will enhance and increase their confidence in their school classwork, ability to improvise and learn new repertoire.
Composition aims to develop student’s skills in creating dance works based on an idea. Students will develop their skills generating movement and organising movement to communicate a concept/intent. These sessions can include individual work, partner work and group activities.
Performance aims to develop students understanding dance technique and preparing their bodies physically for safe dance practice. Students will learn a range of contemporary repertoire and extend their skills of performance quality and safe execution of movement.
Appreciation aims to develop students skills in anaylsing dance as an art form by appreciating professional works and works created within the classroom.
