You will study dance histories practically through lectures and seminars and through independent research and explore dance science and somatic practices to understand both your body and the bodies of those you will teach. You will discover and perform dance repertoires; engage in various dance analysis skills; and learn dance education theory through observations, discussions and lectures.
As a second year student you will increase the knowledge and understanding that you have gained, continue to work on your own dance skills, develop your choreographic skills and study dance from a historical, scientific and critical perspective. You will undertake three professional placements across two modules in which you will teach different groups of students in three dynamically different contexts. Throughout your experience, you will be supported by qualified, experienced mentors from a variety of partnerships, as well as the wide professional expertise of RAD staff.
