Dance
BackWelcome to the Dance Department
The Dance department’s vision is in line with the school's.
We aim to foster a love of Dance and a love of learning through Dance
The varied curriculum offered by the department aims to develop student’s technical, creative, performing and analytical/observational skills by working individually, in pairs and in groups. We offer all students the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities culminating in performances to parents both in and out of school at Borough and Central London events.
We encourage students to co-operate and work together in Dance to keep each other safe, to encourage mutual respect and to develop confidence in working with and performing to other people.
