Dance 

Dance provides students with opportunities to experience and enjoy dance as an artform as they perform, compose and appreciate dance. In an integrated study of the practices of performance, composition and appreciation, students develop both physical skill and aesthetic, artistic and cultural understandings. The course enables students to express ideas creatively and to communicate physically, verbally and in written forms as they make, perform and analyse dances and dance forms.

All students study dance performance, composition and appreciation. They learn about the elements of dance (space, time and dynamics) and how they are used in, and link, the three practices. They learn about performing dances with an awareness of safe dance practice, dance technique and performance quality. They learn about how dance expresses ideas, feelings and experiences as they construct dance compositions to communicate ideas. They learn about people, culture and society as they study and analyse dance performances, compositions and dance works of art.

Students learn to develop an articulate body as they perform a range of dances in a variety of styles with a working knowledge of safe dance practice. They learn to structure movement as they compose dances to express their ideas, feelings and experiences.
