Dance
SACE Stage 2
20 credits
Students develop aesthetic and kinaesthetic intelligence, through using the body as an instrument for the expression and communication of ideas. They learn practical movement, choreographic and performance skills. They consider the role of dance in different cultural contexts, and develop an appreciation of dance as an art form, as well as a life-enrichment opportunity connected to mental and physical wellbeing.
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.
