BTEC Dance

btec tech award in performing arts dance - level 1 and 2

The Pearson BTEC level 1/2 award in performing arts is for learners who want to acquire technical knowledge and technical skills through vocational contexts, by studying dance as part of their mastery years.

The qualification recognises the value of learning skills, knowledge and vocational attributes to compliment GCSEs.

The award gives learners the opportunity to develop sector-specific knowledge and skills in a practical learning environment. The main focus is on four areas of equal importance, which cover:

• The development of key skills that prove your aptitude in performing arts, such as reproducing repertoire or responding to a stimulus

• The process that underpins effective ways of working in the performing arts, such as development of ideas, rehearsal and performance

• The attitudes that are considered most important in the performing arts, including personal management and communication

• The knowledge that underpins effective use of skills, processes and attitudes in the sector such as roles, responsibilities, performance disciplines and styles
