The Performing Arts Department incorporates a full spectrum of creative subjects including...
Dance, Drama, Music and Creative PE (Gymnastics and Trampolining).

Working in collaboration to deliver a cohesive and well-rounded programme, the department’s passionate and dedicated teaching staff offer students the very best academic support and extra-curricular opportunities, which include concerts and
whole-College productions.

Our emphasis is very much on practical-based learning underpinned with a sound theoretical and contextual understanding. We believe this helps students to not only learn their subjects more effectively but also to grow in confidence while acquiring valuable life skills.

Ivybridge Community College Dance Academy provides primary students with dance classes once a week. The classes are open to Year 4 – Year 6 children of all abilities. The aim of the Dance Academy is to provide an opportunity for more children to participate in dance and learn and experiment with new techniques and develop their creative thinking and technical ability.

What is included in Primary Dance?

In these sessions we will start at the very basics of dance and explore movement through a variety of styles with emphasis on contemporary dance. We welcome students with a variety of experience and each task will be catered to cover the different skill levels in the group. We will be working towards a performance of our work in the summer term.
