What the college says

Dance is a subject that provides a creative focus for students through a physical medium. A-level dance requires students to be good at performing, interpreting and creating contemporary dance. Students are able to further their GCSE experience or to formalise the dance training which they may have had as an extra-curricular activity. The course encompasses a wide variety of studies, particularly up-and-coming choreographers currently creating their work in the UK. This will include a set work: "Rooster" by Christopher Bruce and a choice of one other professional work from a list of four stated in the syllabus. Students analyse both the content and the context of these professional works. The studies then feed into students practical work which encourages skills such as solo and group performance and choreography.=
