The Level 1 Qualification in Dance Leadership is a nationally recognised qualification that enables successful learners to assist in leading purposeful and enjoyable dance activity,
under direct supervision. The qualification aligns with professional standards for sport and
physical activity leadership.
This course is open to students entering Year 9 only.
Students will need to be genuinely passionate about dance and have a specific suitable skill or interest related to dance as well as a desire to challenge themselves to develop this further and push themselves beyond their comfort zone. There is no prerequisite skill or ability level.
There are a limited number of spaces available. As such, suitability will be determined using the student’s CFL score and the quality of their application.
The Leadership Skills Foundation provide an easy to use learner evidence record for this qualification. The learner evidence record is mandatory and uses the following assessment methods:
Practical observation
Written tasks (task worksheets provided in the learner evidence record)
Plans and evaluations
Course duration:
1-2 years. Students must have submitted all components by the end of Year 10.

Can I study this with other additional qualifications?
This is a decision which should be made dependent upon each student. Some students have successfully managed the demands of two programmes, please take into account the demands on a student's time in relation to outside of school activities and sporting commitments. This programme can effectively support a student's participation in the Oxbridge programme and will also complement after school rehearsal commitments if students' are going to be in the school production/concerts throughout the year.
