A Dance A-Level helps to round out a student’s education particularly if they are considering a degree in the humanities and can be applied to a profession in dance, arts and theatre management, creative work in any of the arts, teaching etc.
An open mind and questioning approach with the desire to express ideas through movement and the written word. A good standard of dance skills, a high level of coordination and stamina alongside an enthusiasm to commit the body to a full exploration of its physical potential. A good pass at GCSE Dance or previous attendance at private dance lessons to a minimum standard of grade 5 or above (in any style) is suggested. A-Level dance is often an extension forward from GCSE but we accept students that haven’t done a Dance GCSE but are keen to explore and improve their skills and understanding of movement and the creative arts.
1. Performance, 2. Choreography, 3. Critical engagement The exam is made up of two sections: practical and written and each carries a weighting of 50%. Students will work to explore and improve their performance potential through practical dance lessons that work on technique and dance vocabulary. They will also learn and create repertoire that challenges their performance ability and raises their understanding of the creative process. This helps to build skills in self-discipline and team management since students are required to complete work in both solo and group conditions. This teaches students to effectively organise and manage both people and time and teaches them to clearly communicate their ideas so their work can be seen in a professional light.
