This A Level Dance course will show you how contemporary Dance has evolved over recent decades. You will look at the developments that have taken place in Britain’s leading dance company, Rambert Dance Company, through the study of a range of choreographers’ work and more recent changes in Dance, whilst also exploring developing and honing your skills as a choreographer.
Practical tasks provide the creative opportunity to develop work that you will perform solo, as a quartet and for a group piece, for one of the many shows we have throughout the year. There is a focus on learning to dance with others, in works choreographed by/for you, as well as having workshops from some of the UK’s leading choreographers.
This is an exciting, creative course which challenges students in many ways, whilst preparing them for university or the world of work.
You will need GCSEs with 2 grade 6s and 3 grade 5s including English Language, some experience of Dance preferable contemporary or ballet is desirable. You will participate in a short dance audition. Retaking GCSE Maths as part of your programme is required if you do not have grade 4.
