Bachelor of Arts (Dance)

An intensive and challenging course where performance and classroom practice are central to the philosophy of the program.

The course provides an insight into dance as an art form and social and educative experience. It develops skills in communication, critical thinking, research and analysis, and demands that students be creatively productive in whatever area of interest they pursue.

Provision is made for students with dance backgrounds other than ballet and contemporary, such as classical Indian dance, to audition and continue to study in their specialist dance style.
