在这里学什么？

This course explores the creative and professional skills needed for dance teachers, educators and youth dance leaders. The programme has a similar structure to a PGCE Dance: theoretical modules in dance pedagogy and two long teaching placements. It explores the wider educational needs and remits for dance teachers beyond secondary schools: further education colleges, youth dance groups, dance schools and a range of community dance settings.

This programme develops emerging dance educators in a unique way: identifying and supporting the artistry inherent in dance teaching. It will highlight the role of choreography in teaching young people and explore the creative aspects of a dance educator through choreographic skills specific to making dance work with and for young people.

PGCE Dance holders have the opportunity to undertake a ‘top-up’ route to pursue the MA on one-year, part-time course. For dance educators at any stage in their career, this course will support you in developing your creative skills and deepening your abilities to support your students in and through dance.

You will:

• practice in a creative university with leading industry partnerships, including relationships with Arts Council England in talent development, OneDanceUK, and many regional youth dance companies.
• have the opportunity to apply through a possible part-time ‘top-up route’, should you hold a PGCE Dance and want to pursue an MA Dance.

TEACHING:

As the course is highly practical in nature, you will be taught in a mixture of physical and practical methods. This includes practical demonstration in technique classes and workshops, with a mixture of verbal and embodied feedback given throughout.

Modules are also supported by practical workshops, lectures, seminars and facilitated student discussion. In many areas, theoretical or screened content is related directly to the students’ practical experiences to underpin their holistic development as dance educators.

You will be supported by staff supervision in your dance teaching/industry placements and independent research projects. In these final projects, student-centred approaches consider the individual’s chosen area of enquiry and combine instruction with guidance and feedback to support your personal development and exploration.

ASSESSMENT:

Assessment on this course is done through a combination of formative and summative assessment, supporting and promoting the slow and ongoing nature of your personal development. There will also be formal means to present the outcome of your learning through writing, practical presentations and performances.

You will be assessed through: performances, portfolios of creative, reflective and analytical written work, practical/creative and oral presentations, as well as essays.

CAREER LINKS:

This programme has links with a number of industry bodies, including:

• OneDanceUK
• The Lowry’s Youth Development Team and Commotions Youth Dance Company
• Dance Manchester
• Ludus Dance and LYDC

In addition, we have an annual dance artist-in-residence scheme which has engaged with companies such as Company Chameleon, Hawk Dance Theatre, Kapow Dance Theatre, along with many independent dance artists. These schemes bring workshops, apprenticeships, performance and project opportunities and mentoring opportunities to our dance students. In addition, we hold two intensive masterclass weeks each academic year, hosting a range of national and international dance artists to work with our under and postgraduate dance students, recently including work with choreographers Gary Clarke and Gemma Nixon, among many others.
