Throughout all dance lessons at Marsden Heights we seek to help pupils to apply their creative skills, build confidence in their own abilities and take pride in their own work. The main focus of teaching and learning is to encourage the free use of creativity and imagination, through exploration of movement and expression.
In Key Stage 3 our intention is to stimulate pupils' enthusiasm for dance. We expose them to a variety of dance styles and genres, choreographic and performance tasks. We want them to become confident communicators through dance, able to work effectively with others and express themselves as an individual.
In Key Stage 4 pupils have the opportunity to build on these skills and knowledge by following the BTEC Tech Award in Performing Arts.
