AQA A Level Dance

What’s it about?

A Level Dance provides students with the opportunity to gain experience of performance and choreography and to develop critical thinking about dance. 

This course requires students to: 

AO1: Perform dance through the application of physical, technical, interpretative and performance skills. 

AO2: Create dance applying choreographic skills to communicate artistic intention. 

AO3: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of performance and choreography from different periods and genres. 

AO4: Critically appreciate and assess performance and choreography through making analytical, interpretative and evaluative judgements.  

 This course is particularly suitable for students who have studied GCSE Dance and wish to study Dance at a higher level. The content allows students to study a subject which can be extended through higher education and promotes a healthy lifestyle through an awareness of the importance of exercise and training. 

Entry Requirements:

We would recommend a grade 6 at GCSE in Dance and a grade 5 at GCSE in English. 

You will also be required to audition for the programme, delivering a one minute solo in a style of your choice. This can be choreographed by you or someone else but must demonstrate both expressive and technical ability.
