Course summary

A Level Dance is a dynamic qualification which encourages students to develop their creative and intellectual capacity, alongside transferable skills such as team work, communication and problem solving. All these skills are valued highly by higher education and employers. This specification reflects both historical and current dance practices, making it relevant and inspiring a lifelong passion and appreciation for Dance. This course recognises the role of Dance in young people’s lives and students are able to study a range of dance styles. Students are required to perform and create choreography, and study set works.

Entry requirements

Candidates are expected to achieve Grade 7 or above in subjects they wish to take at A Level, or, for subjects not previously studied, a 7 in facilitating subjects. A list of these can be found here. The practical and written components of this course are of equal weighting, 50 per cent each and therefore it is desirable that students have studied GCSE Dance. All candidates will take two written general papers, one Maths related and one essay writing based, a computer based thinking skills assessment and have an academic interview, with subject specific staff.
