The students will work on developing their jazz, street, tap and contemporary dance technique every term over the length of the course.

Performance skills are paramount for any dancer.  Throughout the course, students will develop and refine their performance skills. This includes solo, with a partner and in an ensemble.  The students will work with a range of choreographers to learn, rehearse, refine and perform different works in preparation for the end of year showcase.

Students will learn about movement and behavioural principles and how they apply to physical conditioning. Professional performance requires a high level of fitness and students will develop a performance and fitness plan they will implement during their studies.  By studying both mind and body they will develop a deeper understanding of the requirements placed on professional dancers. 

Composition development is an important process that all dancers should understand and experience. The students will explore the application of elements of shape, space, time and dynamics to their choreographic works. Developing their work through technical and expressive dance movements to enhance the mood and style of their compositions.  The student will explore the application of improvisational movement techniques to enhance the depth of work through technical and expressive dance movements.  They will explore the composition development process for both solo and partnering work.

Our course will ensure students develop the technical and conceptual skills required to work in the arts. Students commit to improving their professional practice in both an artistic and business context.
