The pursuit of physical excellence is paired with the nurturing of creativity, laying the foundations for the performer, choreographer and/or independent practitioner. The course provides an insight into dance as an art form, and as a social and educative experience, offering additional skills in communication, critical thinking, research and analysis. Sustainability in relation to professional career pathways is emphasised through engagement with industry partners and exposure to diverse performance environments.
