Dance

A.B. Paterson College offers Dance as a co-curricular activity, with students given the opportunity to participate in beginner, intermediate and advanced ensembles.  Students audition annually for placement into the group that best suits their ability level, and are taught techniques and choreography in a range of styles, including Jazz, Musical Theatre, Hip Hop and Contemporary Dance.  Dance Troupe combines exercise with fun, as well as stimulating creativity, spatial awareness and co-ordination. 

Dance as an art form is incredibly powerful and expressive and can assist students in building academic confidence, as well as providing performance opportunities at school performance evenings, school productions and eisteddfods. Students are also offered the opportunity to enrol in private and group dance lessons through specialist dance tutors, who operate after-school lessons, as well as private tuition throughout the school day.
