All good

Hard to learn

No

I studied dance and choreography at the university before I had to switch courses before they killed my love of dance completely. If you know anything about dance do NOT study here. There were people on my course who had never danced before and the teaching (if you can call it that) was abysmal. Teachers were rude and publically stated in our first lecture not to contact them out of lecture time as university’s about teaching yourself and if we did they wouldn't reply. The Knowledge of the teachers was shockingly low too with even basic dance terminology getting constantly misused when it was used at all, which it rarely was. The only thing I could say they were good at was regurgitating information about other famous dancers and choreographers. The course set up in general was no technique or dance training of any kind, we were lucky if we did more than roll around the floor for a warm up or one 'teacher' had an obsession with cartwheels. The choreography is a joke you basically get told go make a dance/ a solo/ duet etc. Then you are judged on how much they liked what you did rather than if they could see how ideas and been interpreted and used to form the piece. For example one teacher hated any move that was even slightly balletic which everyone knows dance originated from social dance and ballet so there for every move has elements of ballet in some form in another. Course work was marked in the same way I don’t agree with that point no matter how well it is referenced. I lasted one year before having to switch courses. I switched to event management as I felt it would help me in my chosen career path. Which was an amazing course with passionate teaching with real knowledge. I now run my own dance school but all the course taught me is how not to teach.
