We've worked with dance teachers and higher education providers to create a qualification that will appeal to students of all abilities, and equip them with a wide range of skills and knowledge.
Our AS and A-level Dance specifications reflect both historical and current dance practices, making them more relevant, and inspiring a lifelong passion and appreciation for dance. They also offer clear, logical progression from GCSE.
Both AS and A-level provide strong standalone qualifications that are designed to be co-teachable. This gives you and your students valuable choice.
