GCSE Dance
GCSE Dance seeks to encourage students to be inspired, moved and changed by following a broad, coherent, satisfying and worthwhile course of study. It aims to prepare learners to make informed decisions about further learning opportunities and career choices. Following a course in GCSE Dance will enable students to:
- Develop and demonstrate skills in a range of practical, creative and performance work.
- Actively engage in the process of studying performance in its various guises, in order to develop as effective and independent learners and as critical and reflective thinkers with enquiring minds.
- Develop an understanding of working in the Performing Arts industry.
- Understand the Performing Arts industry as a practitioner and as a spectator.
- Work imaginatively and creatively in collaborative contexts, generating, developing and communicating ideas.
- Reflect on and evaluate own work and the work of others.
- Understand the elements required to create performances for an audience:
- Technical skill
- Fluidity of line
- Interpretation of music
- Creativity of Choreography
- Collaborative skills
If you enjoy dance, have plenty of energy and discipline and would like to develop the range of your dance skills, then the GCSE course is ideal for you.
Previous dance experience is necessary. Students must also attend a regular weekly “technique” class.
The course is available for students who are 13 years+

The Cremona School of Dance is committed to protecting the rights of individuals with respect to the processing of children’s, parents’, and staff personal data. GDPR gives individuals the right to know what information is held about them and provides a framework to ensure that personal information is handled properly.
The CSD is required to collect and manage certain data. We need to know parents’ names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses.
