Students learn transferable skills including critical and creative thinking skills, personal and social skills, and intercultural understanding. Dance develops individuals to be reflective thinkers who can pose and solve problems and work both independently and collaboratively.
Dance has its own movement vocabulary and specific techniques and processes that students learn and apply to their own work as a dancer and choreographer and use to interpret, understand, and appreciate the work of others. It will suit students with an interest in dance who would like to learn through doing and observing.
The following areas of study are covered:
- Understanding dance
- Creating dance
- Responding to dance
