Development of performance skills and artistry is central to a dancer's development.

A variety of performance experiences will extend and enhance the student's skills and artistry. Performance 1 will culminate in the performance of a dance work by a leading or emerging choreographer as part of the School of Dance November performance season. It may also include the performance of a Jazz Dance in another venue. Production Studies lectures will focus on technical aspects of the theatre, theatre terminology, etiquette, personnel and stage make-up.
