Dance Club

Our fabulous extra curricular dance group runs every Tuesday morning from 7:15am - 8:15am in the dance studio. This includes students from Year 7-12. Some students have had an extensive background in dance while for others this is a new learning experience and the chance to explore dance. Over the year, the students develop dance technique and learnt dances from a range of different styles. Dance Club students performed at the semester two, 2024, performance evening and the school's annual Celebration Night. Our dance teachers have been supported by our fabulous 2024 Dance Captains: Chloe Hildebrand and Sarah Mathews as well as Liana Samson-Piniata in Semester 2.

F block Dance Training and Technique take out the prestigious award ‘Best Wild card entry’ at the annual film festival! 

This is a new subject, in just its second year of conception. This subject is designed to compliment and prepare students for the skills required for Year 11 and Year 12 VCE Dance, as well as provide an enriching creative outlet for all students interested in dance. This subject provides a unique experience where students develop both technique and choreographic skills. Once students have produced choreography they then take this out into various community locations (such as gardens, National parks, beach etc.) to film. Once returning, subsequent classes are spent editing the footage to culminate in a dance film that is shared at the Dromana College Film Festival, held at the Rosebud cinemas in October. 

This is a particularly valuable experience, by immersing our students in the emerging technological world of dance, especially as many professional dances are now regularly shared with the public through film. 

This year our F-Block Dance Training and Technique class took out the prestigious award ‘Best Wild card entry’ at the film festival! 

Our students are to be congratulated. 

This subject is an unparalleled opportunity for all students interested in dance, and looking for both an exciting, practical, skilled enhancing dance subject in F Block, look no further. You will experience skills that you will take away for the future and remember for life!

Any students interested in taking part in this subject in the future or wish to know more about it, please feel free to see Ms Sarah Mann or Ms Taryn Sabell
