The academic aspect of dance ATAR provides an educational outlook on the history of dance as well the important elements of biomechanics, choreographing and staging a dance.
This subject keeps my interest as each lesson is never the same ranging from group work, solo work, theory and viewing dance performances.
There isn’t a dull moment in this course and the class environment and teacher support helps me develop my dancing and choreographing skills.
