SACE DANCE
This program has been written with the intention of teaching students the importance dance plays within our culture both in the form of education and storytelling, as well as improved wellbeing and positive mental health. Rockit is redesigning the way students understand how dance can play a part of our everyday lives focusing on the positive social impacts dance has on individuals and local communities.
SACE Stage 1 Dance
During the introductory year, students investigate dance practice and performance from specific cultures, historical periods or traditions to analyse the function of dance in context and how it is used to educate and celebrate human stories. Students have the opportunity to explore their own cultures resulting in the creation of independent choreographic works. In addition, students will hone their technical and performance skills creating a performance portfolio. This study helps students understand the impact dance has on communities, from a grass roots through to professional level.
SACE Stage 2 Dance
In the second year of the program, students begin to explore the professional performing arts industry looking at various employment opportunities and transferable skills. They commence research studies into the industry focusing on their area of interest whilst preparing a professional portfolio pertaining technical performance skills and independent choreography. The year is rounded out with the creation of their own short dance film allowing students an opportunity to express themselves or their own stories.
By the completion of the two year program, students will have a strong grasp on how they can use dance as a tool to help improve wellbeing and positive mental health, connect with local communities, express themselves and their ideas through movement and storytelling as well as understand the ups and downs of the professional industry. This knowledge will help them carve their own unique path into the future.
Students must be enrolled in a minimum of three technical classes at Rockit to be eligible to enrol in SACE Dance.
