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 practitioners, including Bruce, Cherkaoui, Alston, Bourne and Khan; making it more relevant and inspiring a lifelong passion and appreciation for dance. We recognise the role of dance in young people’s lives and students will be able to study a range of dance styles. We’ve set relevant and exciting sources for all choreography and broadened our areas of study. Students can perform and choreograph in a style of their choice for the group work, providing it meets the assessment criteria. During A-Level Dance, you will develop advanced professional skills, rehearsing and showcasing a group choreography piece, whilst performing a quartet and a solo dance later in the year. This course allows you to expand on your skills and knowledge from existing qualifications, whilst challenging you to reach the next level. You will work from commissions set by AQA and explore creative dance whilst performing in the annual dance showcase at the end of the academic year.
