dACADEMY
CONTEMPORARY DANCE CURRICULUM

We are excited to announce the return of our dACADEMY Contemporary Dance Curriculum, written by Ms. Leia Ang, for all our ballet students! Ms. Leia attained her Masters of Dance Studies at the University of Auckland (NZ) in 2019, where she deepened her comprehension of dance education, and was exposed to the rigour of research writing.

VISION & AIMS

Currently in the dance world, ballet dancers are increasingly required to perform contemporary dance works with confidence. With the aim to further develop your child’s potential in dance, we have designed a short course to introduce contemporary dance technique(s) to your child. Additionally, our team of educators at dACADEMY (Contemporary Faculty of Dancepointe Academy) believes that contemporary dance can be an alternative medium for growth and development through the premise of dance improvisation. A common practice in contemporary dance, Improvisation, is the spontaneous creation of movement which encourages self-expression and the discovery of self and life. As such, we encourage you to consider this programme as an opportunity for your child to gain exposure and training in contemporary dance techniques in addition to classical ballet, in order to hone his/her versatility as a dancer. 

In line with the mission for dance as a means to educate - more specifically for our school, it is to grow and develop each student’s potential as a dancer, Dancepointe invites you to join us in a 3-month programme where your child will be introduced to the joys of Contemporary Dance. 

PROGRAMME DETAILS

Certificate of Accomplishment: A Certificate of Accomplishment will be awarded to your child at the end of the programme. Please note that he/she will have to attend a minimum of 9 out of 11 sessions (including the final showcase) in order to receive this certificate. 

 

Final Showcase: The programme is designed to build into a final showcase where parents will be invited to attend the students’ presentation (an augmentation of their learning experience) in an informal setting to celebrate the achievements of the students through this course.
