Dance is part of the school curriculum and offers a unique learning experience within the curriculum. The value of dance lies in the possibilities it offers for the pupils to develop creative, imaginative, physical, emotional and intellectual capacities. Pupils are encouraged to develop different styles and to research independently. Dance is used as a means of expression and communication and students begin to find their own voice as creator, performer and critic. Aims
