Dance Science and Education (MSc)

Today, it is becoming critically important to the holistic nature and global development of all dance performance and training that there are professionals with a scientific foundation for the teaching of dance as an art-form, who are appropriately resourced, challenged and inspired to take on their own frontiers and develop new ones.

On this programme, gain a foundation in science to underpin all forms of dance training and educate the development of dance as an art form. With careful development, this programme focuses on the science directly relevant to the processes and practices that optimise: dance training, dance education and dance performance.
