Dance

Implementation

2008 was the first year of implementation. The first WACE examinations for Dance will be conducted in 2009.

Summary

The Dance course acknowledges the interrelationship between practical and theoretical aspects of dance - the making and performing of movement and the appreciation of its meaning. Through decision-making in individual and group work, students use a wide range of creative processes, such as improvisation and the use of choreographic elements to create dance works. They also learn how dance styles and forms are historically derived and culturally valued. Through dance, students experience an intrinsic sense of enjoyment and have an opportunity to achieve a high level of movement skills.
