Year 10 Dance develops the learners dance skills, techniques, vocabularies and movement practices. Level 5 of the NZ Dance Curriculum is the focus for the work completed at this year level.

Over the semester the learners will compare and contrast dances from a variety of past and present cultures and contexts. They will manipulate the dance elements and explore the use of choreographic devices and structures to organise dance movement. This will lead to the preparation, rehearsal and performance of dance, showing an awareness of production technologies.
