What the college says

A-level Dance is a dynamic qualification which encourages students to develop their creative and intellectual capacity, alongside transferable skills such as team working, communication and problem solving. All of these are sought after skills by higher education and employers and will help them stand out in the workplace whatever their choice of career. This specification reflects both historical and current dance practices, making it relevant, and inspiring for a lifelong passion and appreciation for dance. It can be studied alongside the Arts Award course and the 3Fall Youth opportunity at Shoreham Academy, allowing aspiring dancers to become all-round artists, which are industry ready. This A Level could lead students to apply for vocational schools or Universities in order to work towards a career in the industry. Careers in dance can take place in all kinds of settings hospitals and art centres, backstage, in schools and community centres and even in offices. In fact, you may like to know that of the estimated 30,000 people employed in the dance sector, only 2,500 are performers! 22,500 go into teaching careers and the remaining 5,000 are employed in a variety of ‘support’ careers such as management, therapy and notation.
