The bbodance Level 5 Diploma in Dance Teaching builds on the pedagogic knowledge and skills developed during the bbodance Level 4 Diploma in Dance Teaching or alternative recognised dance teaching qualifications.
The course guides students to apply teaching and learning strategies to their own practice. The Level focuses on students developing their own studio practice; as part of that, they are required to teach 40 hours of dance.
During the course, students will develop the skills necessary to confidently manage the learning environment in which they practice by studying Curriculum Design and Assessment. In addition, an overview of Dance History and Choreographic Practice will help students contextualise their practice in relation to the wider professional and creative dance industry.
These modules are also designed to ensure that students develop academic skills that are essential for further studies in higher education as part of their personal professional development.
The course lasts for 7 months & consists of 5 modules:
Module 5.1 Curriculum Design
Module 5.2 Assessment for Learning
Module 5.3 Dance History
Module 5.4 Developing Choreographic Practice
Module 5.5 Teaching and Learning in Practice
In addition, you’re required to independently plan and deliver 40 hours of dance.
