Students explore a range of dance styles and techniques, improve their performance and choreography skills, and develop the physical, creative, and collaborative skills required for live performance.
Throughout the course, students participate in practical classes, rehearsals, and performances while building knowledge of safe dance practices, the creative process, and the expectations of the performing arts industry. They also develop valuable employability skills, including teamwork, communication, self-management, problem-solving, and professionalism.
