13 DANCE - KANIKANI

Dance is a highly practical subject that will help you to develop your skills in creativity, critical thinking and collaboration. Throughout the year you will build on your knowledge and skills in choreography, performance and analysing dance. 

 Assessments:

• Choreography. There are two options for choreography assessments where you will be guided through a choreographic process based around a theme. Choreographic themes in the past have included ideas such as, pieces of music, historical events, or your turangawaewae.
• Performance. There are two performance assessments both focused around communicating an understanding of the style or intention behind the dance being performed.  One is a duet or solo and the other is a group dance. Past styles have included Bollywood dance, African dance, Contemporary dance and many more.
• External Exam. This is optional and requires you to respond to and analyse a dance performance.

 You will get the opportunity to attend a dance trip to see a professional dance company perform.

 Scholarship Dance will be offered to Level 3 Dance students wishing to further their understanding of dance performance and choreography. 

12-16 internal credits. The UE requirement of 14 credits can be gained internally through dance.
