Course Description
The Higher National Certificate in Performing Arts (Dance) is a vocational course which explores contemporary and current practice whilst still acknowledging the traditional methods and practices of Dance. It is the equivalent level of a 1st Year at University. The course provides training in dance alongside a focus on contextual studies and industry knowledge. The aim is to enhance the trained dancer's mindset to become a 'thinking' dancer and not a reciprocal one.
This programme will allow you to develop a wide range of industry level skills in core dance techniques including Jazz, Ballet and Contemporary dance as well as helping you to establish your unique choreographic identity in training for employment or for continuing on to our HND Level 5 qualification.
The course is aimed at dedicated learners who want to move into the dance industry. A highly practical course resulting in a nationally recognised Level 4 qualification. It offers an intensive training year with highly skilled specialist staff.
This exciting course is practically driven to build a solid grounding in performance, theory, industry knowledge, and business skills.
