3DAN

Level 3 Dance

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms S. Allpress.


LEARNING ACTIVITIES: Students will extend their ability to choreograph and perform original and set dance works. They will work both individually and collaboratively on solo, duet and group dances.  

There will be opportunity for students to gain extra dance credits through involvement as dancers and or choreographers in the school production and the Lynfield Cultural Festival. Where possible and appropriate, learning from different achievement standards will be integrated into a single learning context.

 Development of physical skill and performance ability is relevant to situations that require presentation skills. Self-discipline, focus, creativity, confidence, communication, plus good group and collaborative skills are personal attributes highly valued by employers and tertiary study providers.

Who would be interested in this course?

Any student with an interest in Dance.  Previous experience and learning from 2DAN NCEA Level 2 is recommended but not essential depending on your previous experience in dance.
