Getting Ahead

Dance A Level at Havant Campus

This creative and challenging course specialises in British contemporary dance (Rambert Dance Company) and American jazz dance. You can start to develop your passion for dance right now in preparation for September by enhancing your research and critical writing skills through dance theory.

Write biographies for the following choreographers:

  • Gene Kelly
  • Jerome Robbins
  • Bob Fosse

Each biography should be 300-400 words and address when and where they were born, early dance training, famous works they’ve choreographed and the stylistic features of their choreography such as preferred genre, signature movements, specific dance language associated with each choreographer, preferred themes/starting points for choreography, choreographic preferences and influences (who has inspired them along the way?). What makes each of these choreographers unique? Why have they, in your opinion, stood the test of time? And finally, what have they contributed to the jazz and musical theatre genre?

Hey Big Spender by Bob Fosse

Moses Supposes by Gene Kelly

America by Jerome Robbins

I overcame a couple of barriers by working really hard to get the top grades. My experience was really good, with the course and the lecturers, the residentials and activities, together it was all really good. I had really great teaching support, I could always go to the lecturers and speak to them if I needed to.

My experience at the College was great, it’s very different to school, and I think it’s a good step to going to university. The support was amazing, I loved all of my teachers, they helped me through everything. The College is friendly and you will succeed.

I’m really happy and pleased with my grades. I really loved my time at the college, I have also made lots of friends, it’s a really nice place to be, I don’t want to leave.
