Dance is a powerful and expressive subject which encourages students to develop their creative, physical, emotional and intellectual capacity, whatever their previous experience in the subject. The aim of this mostly practical GCSE is to give students the opportunity to develop an understanding and appreciation of a range of dance styles and to develop aesthetic and artistic sensibility to dance works. It also aims to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to perform, choreograph and appreciate dance including an awareness of its artistic contexts. It also helps to develop life-skills and attributes which include decision making, critical and creative thinking, aesthetic sensitivity and the ability to co-operate with others.
Students will be expected to visit the theatre to see professional dance works as many times as possible, which will be arranged as part of the course. An involvement in a school production is encouraged but is not compulsory.
Internally marked and externally moderated Performance: 30% of GCSE Choreography: 30% of GCSE
