Level 3 Dance

Students will develop their performance skills and theoretical knowledge. Genres studied include K-Pop, Tap, Cuban Salsa, Tinikling from the Philippines, South African Gumboot Dance / Samoan Sasa / Reggaeton and Cabaret. Choreography is OPTIONAL in Level 3 Dance. Students can choose to do to a choreography standard if they want to pursue Dance as a career or further use their choreographic skills for extra credits. Achievement standard 3.2 can be completed for 4 extra credits (as a solo or duet) in their own time outside of class, but with teacher guidance and checking in for various milestones. Students who are entered in Scholarship will be expected to complete AS 3.1 to support their portfolio of work. The dance external will focus on the analysis of a dance performance (like Christopher Bruce's Ghost Dances) for a written essay exam. Students are expected to perform in the annual WGHS Dance showcase and to perform at assemblies and events like the Talent Showcase and Friday Lunch Live to build up performance pieces for their repertoire standard. These performance opportunities will also help to develop confidence.
