INTRODUCTION

This course will support the development of your teaching, challenging you to embed creativity and inclusivity at the heart of your practice. Over three trimesters, you'll explore the approaches, creative practices and professional skills needed to excel in dance teaching and facilitation. Study the art and science of dance pedagogy, considering a wide range of learning needs, teaching styles and modern perspectives on teaching and learning. You can choose to develop your teaching practice for a range of formal and informal teaching environments. Your values and personal teaching philosophies are central in shaping and honing your practice.

Industry collaboration and real-world learning are central to our courses. You'll get an insight into teaching dance in various contexts to suit your ambitions as a dance artist. You'll refine your creative practice in masterclasses, participate in two work based placements and observe professional commissions led by established professionals. These will provide you with invaluable industry experience whilst helping you to identify and support the artistry rooted in dance teaching.

Dance at Salford is a community of lecturers, students, artists in residence, alumni artists and visiting professionals who work together to provide a professional training and education to support your career aspirations. As a postgraduate dance student studying at Salford, you'll have access to vibrant local dance scene with links to local venues and dance organisations. We'll create collaboration and networking opportunities through live dance and music events, as well as access to discounted supplementary training and live performances, creating space to engage with like-minded creative artists.

Our MA Programmes are well respected in the industry, with graduates going on to work with Burnley College, St. Bedes College, Youth Zone Chorley, Active Tameside, Fallen Angels Dance Theatre, Ruth Jones (Manchester Pride and Manchester Day Pride), Walk the Plank (Green Spaces Dark Skies), The Lowry Creative Education Team, Die Cast Mcr and Coalesce Dance Theatre.
