Summary
Expand, refine and articulate your unique vision of dance education.
We’ll empower you as a dance practitioner and educator to advance and innovate your teaching. You'll engage with current research, reflective practice, and practical, contextual and industry-based explorations, and graduate ready to lead and inspire within a range of contemporary dance education environments.
The programme integrates current pedagogies and facilitation practices, research and pedagogical frameworks, philosophy, practice as research, interdisciplinarity, and professional readiness, culminating in a final independent project focused on real-world application - a project that can go straight out in the industry.
Our graduates emerge as skilled dance educators, facilitators, and leaders with visionary skills to be change-makers for good. Through a dynamix mix of practical, contextual and industry-based learning, you'll expand your identity as a dance practitioner and prepare for a range of professional pathways - schools, businesses, community settings and professional dance contexts nationally and internationally.
We are committed to support individual dance practices and welcome students from a range of backgrounds and cultural perspectives. You will be encouraged to develop and test new ideas and skills in dance ‘laboratory’ situations critically to engage with the various cultural, social, and artistic contexts that shape pedagogy.
Dance, as a practice, is not merely about the physical embodiment of movement; it encapsulates a rich tapestry of history, identity, and expression that is influenced by a multitude of factors, including social and political contexts. Dance as an artform is community building, and you will consider this degree in an international and global context. Through informed and critical engagement with the current discourses in dance education and facilitation, our graduates explore holistic and inclusive approaches, with the potential to impact dance education in a wide range of contexts.
