Why Performance (Dance)? Are you passionate about Dance? Dance, sparks creativity, encouraging young people to be inquisitive, disciplined and determined. Dance as a subject is unique, in that it blends artistic practice with physical activity and focusses on the aesthetic and artistic qualities and the symbolic use of movement to express and communicate ideas and concepts through the interrelated processes of performance and choreography. |

Practical components focus on developing physical skills through various dance styles, such as Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz techniques. 推女郎无圣光宅福利 will have opportunities to develop choreographic skills through a deeper investigation into the process and outcome in order to craft highly complex, layered and exceptionally well structured choreographies that have a clear choreographic intent.
