Teacher in Charge: Mrs J. Ogden.
PrerequisitesThe course is open to all Year 10 students. We welcome any student who is interested in developing their skills as a dancer and is open to learning a range of dance styles.
Whilst studying Dance, students will explore basic movement, terminology, technique and movement sequences in a range of dance styles which may include: Jazz, Hip Hop, Tap, Lyrical and Contemporary Dance. Students will also have the opportunity to create their own choreography in small groups. Students will have the oppertunity to learn from Mrs Ogden as well as guest teachers (where available). This course has a strong emphasis on practical work and learning different dance styles. Students will develop practical knowledge in dance (dance classes), develop ideas in dance (choreography), communicate and interpret dance and understand dance in context (theory).
Equipment: Students must bring a change of suitable clothes for every class (stretch trackpants or leggings and a singlet or T-shirt, NO jean cut-offs or non-stretch fabrics), as well as a IB5 exercise book, pens, glue stick and highlighter.
