Subject Overview:

The training paradigm in contemporary and classical dance techniques is continued with 4 classes a week in each technique. Training in each of the techniques will deepen the knowledge of the body and its movement possibilities. Students will study the advanced steps of Ballet with an emphasis on demi-pointe work and steps of grand elevation. In Contemporary Dance classes, presentation of more demanding movement sequences assists students to develop greater technical proficiency and a more extensive movement range.

Assessment: Assessment in practical class work is comprehensive and includes assessment for progress, random assessment, self assessment and formal assessment class.
