A-level Dance Component 1 Choreography: specification change

Published: Friday 3 Nov 2023

For students being assessed in their A-level Dance course (7237) in summer 2024 and onwards, we've made an update to the specification regarding the 'Choreography' element of Component 1 (7237/X).

Under the section 'Assessment task 3: Group choreography' in our specification, it currently states: 'the student should not perform in the dance themselves nor act, for example, as accompanist or sound operator'.

We've listened to feedback, and if students want to, they're now allowed perform in their own choreography or act, for example, as accompanist or sound operator.

We've made this change to make the qualification more accessible and to reflect the current needs of our schools and colleges.

We wanted to let you know about this change as soon as possible, so please note that the specification will be updated to reflect this change soon.

If you have any further questions, please contact our customer support team at aqadance@aqa.org.uk or call 01483 437750.
