Dance

Dance is an expressive human movement, which forms an integral part of human life and culture. Dance exists in a large variety of forms and for different purposes, ranging from a social past time to theatrical performance and religious rite. It is a blending of body and mind, a form of non-verbal communication. Through dance, pupils develop an understanding of its value in their own and other cultures and extend their understanding of themselves, their place in society and of how they can communicate through dance.

At Somerset College, dance tuition is offered in the following areas:-

  • jazz/modern/funk
  • classical ballet (RAD)
