Through Dance studies, students will develop knowledge and understanding, skills, values and attitudes about:
- dance as an artform
- dance performance
- dance composition
- dance appreciation.
The Dance course is designed for students who have completed the Dance 7-10 Syllabus, for those with other previous dance experience and for those who are studying dance for the first time. It caters for a broad range of students from varying social and cultural backgrounds. The subject acknowledges the cultural diversity within the Australian community and offers students opportunities to reflect their own and others' life experiences as part of the course content.
Students learn to manage their own learning and to work together with others in a range of capacities: as performers, composers, as students in a cooperative learning environment, through problem-solving tasks and through group work.
A syllabus is a document that gives teachers an outline of what students are to be taught in a specific learning area.
The syllabus and other supporting material for Dance 11-12 are available from the Board of Studies.
