Year 9

The Year 9 Dance course consists of dance technique, performance and choreography in commercial jazz. Students study the evolution of different dance styles, as well as the history and technique of cultural dance styles such as; Latin, Bollywood, Irish, Russian and African.

Dance classes aim to increase student flexibility and strength through warm-up, develop technique and discipline through dance exercises and increase stage presence and confidence through performance and learning routines. Students are also given the opportunity to be taught by specialist choreographers in dance workshops included in the course.

The structure of the Dance course allows for both beginners and advanced Dance students to be challenged equally. Students will perform in the Prendiville Dance Showcase, which takes place annually in Term 3. Throughout the year, students are also given several opportunities to choreograph and create their own dance works, increasing their ability to work collaboratively and perform their work for an audience.

  • Females: PCC black leotard and black leggings
