The document discusses the dance course for high school students. It covers that dance is both a practical and theoretical subject, and counts towards the ATAR. Students can choose to do dance work individually or in a group. The core components of the course include appreciation (20%), composition (20%), and performance (20%). Appreciation involves analyzing and discussing dance, composition is creating original dance works, and performance is practicing and presenting dance. The remaining 40% of the course can be selected from additional dance topics. Employers value skills developed in performing arts like communication, teamwork, and creativity.
