Dance (Hons)

With an approximately even practice-to-theory ratio, this course introduces you to the breadth and depth of aspects of dance study, as you explore areas that extend beyond your technical development. These aspects are designed to both inform your dance practice, but also allow you to understand the power and reach of contemporary dance. From choreography to teaching dance, and applied dance practice to dance history, this course offers you a vibrant and broad range of optional modules that allow you to focus on the areas of dance that interest you the most. Daily technique classes keep your love of dancing at the heart of your experience, as you learn with students from across our dance department to help create an integrated dance community. You will also engage in weekly choreography classes to develop your own creative ‘voice’ and help develop your performance skills, with opportunities to perform throughout your studies including at end of semester shows. Our lecturers and dance tutors are all experienced, professional and practicing choreographers, technique tutors, dance artists and dance science specialists. Our tutors approach each class as an opportunity to share their expertise with you to nurture your talent and extend your creativity, as they get to know you and your aspirations.
