Dance

Curriculum Intent

We believe that Dance can play an important role in creating well rounded individuals, who will learn skills they can apply to their everyday lives. Dance is an art form which combines creativity, imagination with physical activity. We seek to help students apply their creative skills, build confidence in their own abilities and take pride in their own work. Students will develop team building skills as they will be working with different people, learning how to communicate effectively with others and building well rounded citizens. Havant’s vision of ‘Work hard, Be Kind, No Excuses’ is embedded into every aspect of the curriculum. 

The Dance curriculum focuses on; performance, choreography and appreciation from KS3 all the way through to KS4. The KS3 curriculum engages students with a broad curriculum that looks at different styles of dance, professional works and knowledge of other cultures, while learning the basic core and facilitating knowledge. In KS4 students build on their breadth of experience by opting to take BTEC Tech Award in Dance. In this course students will develop their knowledge and understanding of professional dance, through practical and written exploration. 

The Dance curriculum is enhanced by extensive co-curricular opportunities at Havant, We want to give opportunities for students to develop their talents and expand their horizons. We provide weekly extra curricular opportunities in dance clubs as well as a variety of different performances in front of large audiences throughout the year.
