The Level 6 Diploma in Dance Teaching develops the pedagogic knowledge and skills accumulated during the theoretical and practical components of bbodance Level 4 and 5, enabling students to apply them to their own professional teaching practice.
The main objective of this course is to enable students to work in the academic environment, as well as on an independent basis at Higher Education (HE) Level 6 while focusing on specific genres, age phases, and teaching and learning practices. Modules in dance science, physical, social, and emotional development, and wider professional dance practice will help students understand current teaching and learning trends.
The course lasts for one year & consists of 5 modules:
Module 6.1 Dance Science
Module 6.2 Physical, Social, and Emotional Development in Dance Training
Module 6.3 Wider Professional Dance Practice
Module 6.4 Teaching Practice in Action
Module 6.5 Research Project
In addition, you’re required to independently plan and deliver 60 hours of dance.
