Teacher in Charge: Mrs G. Visser-Heydon.
Dance Scholarship is optional for students in Year 13. It is recommended that you have completed Level 1 and 2 Dance and gained your internal and external achievement standards at Merit and / or Excellence. Dance scholarship involved completing achievement standard 3.1 from Level 3 Dance. This is completed out of class time and the choreography task requires you NOT to dance in your own piece, but to act as choreographer. You are also required to submit around 5 minutes of footage of you performing dance with technical accuracy and performance skills at a very high level. The main part of Dance scholarship is an 18 page written portfolio with an in-depth analysis of your choreographic process and performance skills. You will need to be a confident writer who can put your ideas skillfully on paper. You will need to show a confident understanding of the Dance elements and choreographic devices. You are expected to complete this in your own time with frequent checkpoints. You will work closely with your teacher to make sure of the authenticity of your practical and written work.
