Dance Technique 5 (DNCE30011)

Dance Technique 5 (DT5) furthers the expansion of skills established in DT4 with emphasis on preparing the student for the professional dance sector. Three classes in Contemporary dance technique, two in Ballet technique and one in Yoga per week form this subject maintaining focus on co-ordination, momentum, economy of action, anatomical function and dynamic alignment to support and expand technical proficiency, articulation and expressiveness. Some classes in both Contemporary and Ballet will be delivered in smaller groups to facilitate greater attention to individual needs. Other classes with dance industry professionals complement the training and foster students’ versatility and ability to respond and adapt to a range of styles and vocabularies. Working at an advanced level in both Ballet and Contemporary technique students are challenged to develop their highest potential in terms of technical proficiency, movement range, cardiovascular endurance, expression and musicality.
