GCSE Dance focuses on the aesthetic and
artistic qualities of dance and the use of dance movement as a medium
of expression and communication in the performance, creation and
appreciation of dance.
GCSE Dance enables students to develop knowledge,
skills and understanding of creating and interpreting images, ideas
and concepts embodied in dance development. The
Dance GCSE course is based on the AQA Syllabus and consists of three
strands:
- Composing
Exploring, improvising, selecting, shaping
and refining movement to create dance, using knowledge of choreographic
forms.
- Performing
Developing your own personal performance
skills to become technically competent and to explore interpretation
and expression.
- Appreciating
A study of the meaning and significance
of dances, both professional and your own, through description,
interpretation and evaluation.
