Description
The MA Dance: Creative Dance Education explores the creative and professional skills needed for dance teachers, educators and youth dance leaders. The design of the programme is built around the shape of 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 supports emerging dance educators in a unique way: identifying and supporting the artistry inherent in dance teaching. The programme highlights the role of choreography in teaching young people and explores the creative aspects of a dance educator, exploring choreographic skills specific to making dance works with and for young people.
This programme also holds a ‘top-up’ route for PGCE Dance holders 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.
