The BA(Dance) BEd (program 3408) is a specialist double degree in Dance and Dance Education. Although a wide variety of dance careers is open to graduates, the primary focus of the double degree program is to equip graduates to serve as dance teachers in schools and in the community. The program offers extended study in four major areas (plus the General Education program). Dance Practice offers dance styles classes designed to improve and consolidate students’ dance skills. Dance Theory is a sequence of mainly theoretical courses which provide an intellectual rationale for understanding the course. Dance Education and Education both give dance a pedagogic context as well as introduce students to educational theories. A major sequence in a second course area from within the Faculty provides students with their second teaching subject.

The core Dance Education program carries 132 units of credit and consists of:

Plus 12 units of credit in Level 1 EDST (Education) courses.

The Dance Education core program is taken in conjunction with 42 units of credit in the second teaching area plus 6 units of credit in the requisite Second Teaching Method course offered by the School of Education.
