BA in Dance Studies at Liverpool John Moores University
Sunday, March 1st, 2009Our popular Dance Studies degrees are designed to help students develop skills for employability, expanding their essential understanding and practical experience while helping them meet their professional aspirations. Regular classes in contemporary techniques (Limón, Humphrey, Cunningham-based, contact improvisation, skinner Releasing Technique) and other dance styles (Ballet, Jazz) are taught alongside experiential anatomy and safe dance practice. Performance skills and projects devised by staff, visiting guest artists and peers, contribute to the rich in-house performances and small scale touring opportunities that take place throughout the duration of the course. Choreographic workshops, shape the students’ creative ability to facilitate the creation of work for stage, on camera and for a variety of site specific platforms (stables, galleries, roads and swimming pools).
Dance graduates have gone on to perform professionally, form their own company, to work as freelance dance workers or to further their studies in performance or to gain their PGCE or MA in Dance.
