Year 11 Dance is a largely practical course. Students develop skills in conceptualising, choreography, performance, and the understanding of dance history and purpose. They work individually and in groups to develop pieces for assessed performance and they critically evaluate the purpose and effectiveness of their own work, and the work of others. A highlight of the course is performance in the annual Dance Showcase production.
