Year 11 Delve Deeper Dance (THIS COURSE IS NOW FULL FOR 2025, PLEASE CHOOSE ANOTHER COURSE)
Course Description
This course is designed for students wanting to expand the knowledge gained in the Dance Essentials course in the first semester, by further developing your technique, performance, and choreographic skills through a collaborative process. You will be provided with opportunities to teach others and explore a wider range of dance genres, cultural and current dance styles. A requirement of this course is to produce choreography from a variety of stimuli, in a variety of pairs, and groups, and even co-construct a class piece for performance. You will develop your critical thinking skills as you learn to analyse a wide variety of professional dance works and research your personal interest areas in dance. Using a written and digital portfolio, you will reflect on personal and professional choreographic techniques. At the end of the semester, the students have an opportunity to perform in front of friends and family in our Dance Concerts. Students wanting to take this course must also choose the Dance Essentials course (this means you will have a full year of Dance).
