Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Professional Skills 2 is building upon the stylistic principles covered at level 4. At this level students should be prepared to transfer the fundamental technical skills and stylistic interpretation into becoming more versatile. New genres and styles will continue to be introduced, including varied Aerial skills.
The assessment process will reflect this through demonstration of contrasting styles through choreographed and unseen material.
Regular classes are supported by a broad range of specialist master classes across two terms.
