Well done to all our dancers who took part in the Ozland Dance Showcase this week!

The feedback from the sold out show was brilliant. It's very clear our students put a lot into this performance and their hard work paid off.

A special thank you to our dance teachers Ms Gregory, Ms Neea and Ms Pownall for putting so many hours into supporting our students and putting the show together, to Mr Copely-Dunn for providing the music, to Ms Gatheral for lighting support, to Ms Bodycombe for costumes, and to Ms Fletcher and art students for set design.

We are proud to offer Dance GCSE and Alevel. Students will benefit from professional dance studio facilities and experienced teachers with a passion for dance.

The Dance department is forever growing and students who take Dance GCSE and Alevel have extra benefits in terms of exciting national trips, performances in showcases, exhibitions, involvement with a professional photoshoot and a show at our school awards evening. We pride ourselves on maintaining the highest results in the academy and also want to make all the experiences of our students meaningful and memorable.

This option allows students to make costumes, learn about the technical aspects of a production including lighting, music, sound and set design. As the creative industry continues to be the strongest in the UK and employers are constantly looking for young people with standout characteristics, this option allows students to develop their communication skills, confidence and interpersonal capabilities. Some of the wider skills this course also supports that employers look for are-: Teamwork, Creative Thinking, Problem Solving, being willing to try new ideas, Empathy and Emotional Literacy, Confidence, Practical and Academic approaches, Commitment and dedication, helpfulness, and organisation.
