The students take the stage!

The students take the stage!

The year 11 GCSE dancers took the stage this week – but not in the way that they are used to. Instead of performing, the dancers presented their choreography pitches in a Dragon’s Den inspired lesson.

The choreography project counts for 50% of their GCSE practical grade, so it is extremely important for students to research into their chosen stimulus before beginning to choreograph.

They spoke through their research and how they would turn a stimulus into a dance. The ‘dragons’ all prepared questions to ask the presenters and the students all did very well to think on the spot and answer the questions. It showed the depth of research and knowledge that they each had into their chosen stimulus.

I look forward to working alongside the students on their choreography project. It is a long way until the finish line, but I know that they will all do extremely well.
