This two-year course equips students for a performance career in dance. Upon completion, graduates will also be prepared and ready to enter a third year working towards a New Zealand School of Dance Diploma in Dance Performance at level 7.
Diploma in Dance level 6 includes a strong choreographic component for both contemporary dance and classical ballet students along with a focus on professional development and self-management. Students also study academic subjects that complement their time in the studio: nutrition; dance history; anatomy and physiology and music studies. Performance opportunities are provided throughout the year, such as in the School’s studio performances, Choreographic Season and Graduation Season.
