Dance · National 5
Choreography, technical performance and appreciation of professional dance works.
What Dance is about
Dance combines three things: your own choreography, technical performance of learnt and set movement, and written appreciation of professional dance works.
What it offers you
It develops physical control, creativity and the language to talk about performance — a route into dance, performing arts and teaching.
