L2 Dance
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Miss R. Richards.
This course builds on the skills learnt in Level 1. Students must rely on their own skills to choreograph a dance for a group of dancers communicating and understanding specific intentions. They will continue to develop their skills of performing in a group, pairs and as a soloist. Analysing their own work and the work of others becomes increasingly important this year. Knowledge, understanding and contexts is tested in Students written external exams. Appropriate dance clothing is required. Students will perform in the dance showcase.
