Dance

Course Description

Students explore personal movement style by combining elements of dance and using improvisation and safe dance practice to develop new movement possibilities. They also practice and refine technical and expressive skills to develop proficiency in genre and style-specific techniques and perform dances using these techniques. Students also analyse a range of dance from contemporary and past times, including dance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, to explore differing viewpoints.
