At the College we offer Dance
to Years 9 & 10 as an elective to provide exposure to a variety of dance
styles and insight into the performing arts industry.
In Dance, students:
- build
on their awareness of the body and how it is used in particular dance
styles
- understand
that safe dance practices underlie all experiences in the study of dance
- perform
within their own body capabilities and work safely in groups
- increase
their confidence, accuracy, clarity of movement and projection
- draw
on dances from a range of cultures, times and locations as they experience
dance
- explore
the dance and influences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples
and those of the Asia region
- reflect
on the development of traditional and contemporary styles of dance and how
choreographers can be identified through the style of their choreography
