Dance

Stage 5 Dance provides students with opportunities to learn a creative and expressive art form where students use movement to communicate ideas, stories and emotions. Students develop their skills through performance, composition and appreciation, while exploring how dance connects to culture, society and personal expression.  

Dance may be undertaken as a 100 or 200 hour NESA course. Satisfactory completion of Dance will be recorded with a grade on the student’s Record of School Achievement.
