Level 1 Dance
Course Code: 1ADAN
Who can I talk to: Vicky Moore-Allen
Dance provides excellent opportunities for success and is suited to ākonga of all abilities. Dance is suitable for both male and female students of all backgrounds and prior experience.
This course is ideal for students who wish to develop skills and express ideas through dance. Ākonga will work with their peers to create, communicate and interpret movement in various ways, turning ideas into dance. Any movement and dance skills students already have, linked to their own cultural experience, or developed in dance classes out of school are valued. Experience as a dancer is not required, however students must be willing to participate in all learning activities and try new things.
