The Department
Dance is a hugely popular subject and extra curricular subject at school. It is taught by Miss Kemp in our purpose built Dance Studio. There are many ways you can be involved in Dance at Stringer.
In Years 7 and 8 pupils will be involved in dance through their PE lessons. In Year 7 pupils study work based on Bugsy Malone and in Year 8 the girls study 'Flashdance' while the boys work on a 'Matrix' theme.
In Year 9 pupils can opt to take GCSE Dance. This is a 3 year course which incorporates the Dance Leadership Award. During their GCSE the pupils look at all aspects of dance including performance, choreography and analysis. The Dance Leadership involves learning how to be a Dance Teacher, followed by actual teaching of junior school children.
There are many Dance Clubs that all ages and genders can be involved in. The timetable on our Dance clubs page will show you what and when it is happening. The very able Dance Captains are responsible for the leading of many of these clubs.
Being involved in clubs and GCSE Dance will mean that you can be part of the hugely successful and enjoyable annual Dance Show. This is the showcase for all Dance in the school and last year saw well over 200 pupils perform on three nights.
