Classes – AQA Dance GCSE

Contemporary dance is the name given to a group of 20th century concert dance forms. It is a style derived from Ballet and Modern dance. Contemporary is very varied and continually developing, at Protègèm we mainly train in ‘release’ based contemporary dance.

Protègèm is delighted to be in the position to offer GCSE Dance following the AQA syllabus. This means students have the opportunity, through Protègèm, to take a Nationally recognised qualification, in some cases earlier than if they chose to take it at school. By choosing to take it with Protègèm, it frees up another option, when choosing Gcse’s to take at school. Students are required to be committed to independent study, as their weekly GCSE class is not enough time to gain a good grade at this level. It is however an exciting and varied course, incorporating appreciation, performance and choreography and of course theatre trips!
