B.P.A. Dance or Bachelor of Performing Arts in Dance is an undergraduate Acting, Dance & Drama course. Dance is a series of movements that match the speed and rhythm of a piece of music. The course focuses on developing your dance technique and knowledge of dance history, gaining embodied and theoretical experience of cultural forms, developing creative skills and increasing your knowledge of anatomy. In the third year, you will work with a professional choreographer to create and perform new work and will work with a supervisor to create a piece of research (this might be practice-led). A variety of exciting option modules allows you to focus on areas of interest such as choreography, dance on screen, intensive technique, popular dance techniques, contemporary techniques, cultural dances, teaching and professional career development.
