Dance Level 3
Dance Level 3 | UAL Diploma / Extended Diploma In Performing and Production Arts
The course has a strong emphasis on practical dance techniques. You will participate in a variety of dance units covering techniques that will include Jazz, Tap, Contemporary, Commercial, Ballet and Choreography. Much of the work undertaken will be continually assessed to monitor progress. The skills developed in the individual units will be brought together in performances including our annual dance evening.

I absolutely loved every minute of my time at Colchester Institute. The quality of training that I received was top tier and it’s definitely been a big stepping stone to getting me where I am today! I couldn’t recommend this college enough.
