INTRODUCING A LEVEL DANCE FROM SEPTEMBER 2008

Course: AQA AS and A2 Level in Dance

In the first year of study, the course will cover three main areas:

  1. Solo Choreography (developing your own dance work and improving your technical and expressive dance skills)
  2. Analysis and Recording (self-analysis, as well as looking at other choreographers, beginning to learn Labanotation)
  3. Understanding Dance (learning to recognise key features and forms of dance using professional dance works).

A written and practical exam complete the AS year.

The course is taught 2/3 practical and 1/3 theory.

 

The second year, (A2), includes:

Group choreography, set study of technical ability and further in depth analysis.

The course hours are supplemented with evening technique classes made available for all A-level students, hosted by The Notting Hill School of Contemporary Dance.
