Dance Leaders
If you would like to develop your leadership qualities in Dance you can deliver a KS3 Dance Club to a particular year group or smaller group of dancers. Running your own club would involve collaborating with a couple of your friends/peers in order to choreograph an original piece of dance, teaching the dance once a week, over a number of weeks (usually 6-8 weeks) and finally rehearsing the piece with our young dancers in order to prepare it for a performance eg an assembly.
- 20 places available for Y9, 10 and 11 students to run KS3 Dance Clubs
- With Primary Dance Leaders – 40 places available
The qualities you will need to demonstrate are:
- reliability in attending all sessions
- organisation in delivering your sessions effectively
- cooperation in working alongside your fellow dance leaders
- empathy for the needs of your young dancers
- passion and enthusiasm for your subject
- creativity in developing your dance piece
- positivity in helping to develop a successful learning environment
