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. The students will choose from the options given in year 1 to further develop ensuring that the creative, technical, and expressive level of achievement is met. Students will critically analyse professional works using comparisons of similarities, differences, and interpretations. In the first term the teacher will identify which course is best suited, either the 2-year AQA A Level or 1-year RSL Level 3 Extended Certificate in Creative and Performing Arts A Level Dance is a dynamic qualification which encourages students to develop their creative, physical, emotional and intellectual capacity. The specification reflects both current and historical dance practices, making it relevant, and possible to inspire a lifelong passion and appreciation for Dance. The students can study a range of Dance styles, techniques and choreographic approaches. Students perform and choreograph in a style of their choice, providing it meets the assessment criteria, they then reflect on their practice in the written paper. In year one choices will be offered through practical work which can then be further developed in year 2.
You will also need to produce documentary evidence of your capabilities in dance. It is recommended that students have GCSE Dance grade 5 or above or working at grade 5 in any dance form such as Ballet, Tap, Modern, Street or Contemporary. If you do not hold either, a dance audition can be arranged for you which you must pass in order to be accepted.
