Dance
Dance is an expressive movement that has intent, purpose, and form. In dance education, students integrate thinking, moving, and feeling. It teaches us to understand ourselves and other people much better.
The Trinity Catholic College Dance Programme is dedicated to providing the 21st-century student with the necessary skills, both artistic and personal, needed to meet the demands of all aspects of learning in an ever-changing world
Our curriculum emphasis:
Students learn to explore and use dance elements, vocabularies, processes, and technologies to express personal, group, and cultural identities, to convey and interpret artistic ideas, and to strengthen social interaction. Students develop literacy in dance as they learn about and develop skills in performing, choreographing, and responding to a variety of genres from a range of historical and contemporary contexts
Curriculum Dance
