Dance - Extended Certificate

Equivalent to one A Level, this course is ideal for students who are interested in learning about the performing arts sector with a view to progressing to a wide range of higher education courses.

You will spend time investigating practitioners' work, developing skills and techniques for live performance and taking part in a group performance workshop. There are also options to study classic and contemporary dance styles.

Independent study, paired work, group work and hands on practical experiences will give you the chance to present your work in a variety of ways. As well as practical performance there is a large emphasis on evaluation and written work. Students are required to demonstrate that they can identify and use effectively, in an integrated way, an appropriate selection of skills, techniques, concepts, theories and knowledge.
