Teacher led technique classes, choreographic tasks and discussions. Student led choreography, research and discussions. There will also be theatre visits and sessions with guest dance artists; in the past students have worked with Neshima Dance Company and Kompany Malakhi amongst others. What can I do when I have my qualification? A level dance is suitable for anyone wanting to pursue dance or the arts in higher education, or as support for any course requiring good communication and group work skills.
