Back to courses

A Level Dance reflects both historical and current dance practices, making it more relevant, and inspires a lifelong passion and appreciation for dance.

The Course
Dance is a dynamic qualification which encourages you to develop your creative and intellectual capacity, alongside transferable skills such as team working, communication and problem solving. All of these are sought after skills by higher education and employers and will help you stand out in the workplace, whatever your choice of career.

We follow the AQA specification.
