VCE Dance: Overview

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 personal movement vocabulary.

All VCE studies are benchmarked against comparable national and international curriuculum.

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.

Timetable

The minimum requirement for VCE Dance is 3 hours per week which includes the theory class and one practical class. It is recommended that students participate in as many different styles of dance to increase their movement vocabulary, skill development, technique, flexibility and overall dance fitness.

Units	Accepted Students	Theoretical & Practical Session	Practical Skills Class
1 & 2	Yr 10 or Yr 11	Friday 4-5:30pm	One evening skills class of 1.5 hours appropriate to the student's ability level. Monday to Friday classes are available.
3 & 4	Yr 11 or Yr 12	Friday 4-5:30pm

Previous dance experience is necessary. Practical skills classes must only be Jazz, Contemporary or Classical styles of dance. More than one skills class per week is an advantage.

The Edge highly recommends Contemporary for all VCE dance students.
