Whangarei Girls’ High School

Level 3 Dance*

Course Description

In this course students will explore a variety of dance styles through practical and research tasks. This course will further develop students' collaborative skills, and the ability to think critically and creatively to overcome challenges as they create choreography, technique, and dance knowledge. At times, students will be working in groups to produce their own concept choreography. At the end of the term they have an opportunity to perform in front of friends and family in our Dance Concerts. This involves lighting and costume rehearsals in our purpose built Dance Theatre.
