Year 12 Dance

Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs N. Tsui, Mrs S. Davies.

Level 2 Dance is a highly practical subject and builds on students' wide knowledge of dance genres established in Level 1 Dance. The course continues to explore choreography, performance and theoretical concepts of dance. Students become increasingly literate in dance as they engage in practical and theoretical investigations, explore dance forms and develop dance ideas. The Showcase is the key performance evening for our Y12 students, this takes place in Term 3.
