A-level Dance is a dynamic qualification which encourages students to develop their creative and intellectual capacity, alongside transferable skills such as team working, communication and problem solving. All of these are sought after skills by higher education and employers and will help them stand out in the workplace whatever their choice of career. Students will learn to choreograph and perform work as well as analyse professional works and learn the historical context of a range of works. The specification has been designed to enable AS and A-level students to be co-taught as well as give AS students the option to progress onto the A-level.
