VCE DANCE

The VCE Dance course at Reflections Academy of Dance is a fully accredited VCE subject recognised by the Victorian Curriculum Assessment Authority (VCAA). RAD is one of only a few dance schools in the South-Eastern suburb that offer VCE through a private provider.

As Dance is a specialist elective, that many schools cannot offer, RAD believes that we have made this accessible to local students at an affordable price. RAD currently have students from several local secondary schools undertaking the VCE course through our partnership.

Past schools include:

  • Alkira Secondary College
  • Berwick College
  • Buckley Park College
  • Casey Grammar College
  • Cranbourne East SC
  • Elizabeth Murdoch College
  • Frankston High
  • Hallam Senior College
  • Kambrya SC
  • Lyndhurst Secondary College
  • Narre Warren P-12
  • Patterson River Secondary College
  • St. Francis Xavier College
  • St. Margaret’s College
  • St. Peter’s Christian College
  • Waverley Christian College

AIMS

This study enables students to:

  • develop safe dance practice and physical skills to enable a secure, controlled, expressive movement vocabulary to emerge
  • develop a safe and anatomically aware use of the body
  • develop skills associated with a variety of approaches to dance-making and performance
  • respond creatively and kinaesthetically to ideas, emotions, observations and explorations of movement to communicate an expressive intention
  • observe, experience and write about dance in an analytical, a critical and a reflective manner
  • understand influences on their own dance works and those created by other choreographers

ENTRY

There are no prerequisites for entry to Units 1, 2 and 3. Students must undertake Unit 3 prior to undertaking Unit 4. Units 1 to 4 are designed to a standard equivalent to the final two years of secondary education. All VCE studies are benchmarked against comparable national and international curriculum.

It is recommended that students have three to four years dance and/or movement experience prior to the commencement of VCE Dance. This experience might focus on a specific dance style or could involve development of a personal movement vocabulary.

Structure

The study is made up of four units.

Each unit deals with specific content contained in areas of study and is designed to enable students to achieve a set of outcomes for that unit.

Each outcome is described in terms of key knowledge and key skills.
