Dance BA (Hons) at Kingston University

Kingston's dance degree offers a diverse and exciting curriculum by combining critical and creative practice. 

You will develop your own dance identity by exploring areas such as choreography, dance technique and performance, cultural dances, teaching dance and event management. There are opportunities to undertake a work placement or collaborate across disciplines (eg with a composer or filmmaker).

You'll work in a range of workshops and active technique classes, across a wide range of performance styles. This reflects professional practices and covers a range of dance styles, including: 

• urban, cultural and popular dance styles (for example, hip hop and street dance styles, salsa and classical Indian dance)  

• Western dance styles (for example, contemporary and contact improvisation) 

Additional dance technique classes are available to participate to further intensify your dance training.

The dance degree enhances your employability through a placement module in your third year. The Dance Teaching and Leading module develops your teaching skills and can lead to teaching placements.

The dance course also capitalises on London's vibrant multicultural dance scene, enabling you to access well-known dance centres like Sadler's Wells, the South Bank Centre, the Barbican and the Place.
