Course summary
This is a dance training degree, predominantly taught through practical exploration and rehearsal, underpinned by research, practitioner study and critical reflection. Training focuses on building strength and confidence in a broad range of dance styles as well as enabling you to creatively build skills through composition and improvisation techniques. These attributes build confidence and deepen understanding of teaching dance to a range of clients within community or educational settings. You'll have the opportunity to create your own original work, exploring areas of specific and personal interest and finding your own creative voice or teaching style. We work in partnership with Dance4, Lakeside Arts and a variety of local educational settings. We collaborate with other creative students across college and have our own graduate Dance Company to support placement opportunities and progression.
