Assessable Learning Areas in Dance      

• Choreographing
  Students use dance components to create movement and to make dances. Through choreography, students develop an understanding that dance is a method for self-expression and communication. 
•  Performing
  Performance is concerned with the development of physical and expressive skills. Learning challenging dances will help students to develop positive self-esteem and build confidence in personal physicality.
• Appreciating
  Appreciation involves students in analysing their own and others’ dances.

   

  All three learning areas in dance are weighted equally therefore a senior dance student must be equally confident and committed to writing, performing and creating.
