Dance Curriculum
Dance is a physical and expressive activity and a powerful form of non-verbal communication. The dance curriculum aims to:
- develop a student’s creative, imaginative, physical, emotional and intellectual capacities.
- foster an enjoyment of, and enthusiasm for dance as a participant and observer.
- develop individuality and independence, as well as team work and group responsibility.
- build the confidence to voice and develop their own ideas, as well as perform in front of an audience.
- develop observational skills: students are taught how to use appropriate terminology to give and receive constructive criticism which helps progress to be made and resilience to be developed.
- Broaden a student’s aesthetic, social and cultural experience.
- Promote dance as part of a healthy lifestyle.
