Dance Academy - Series 3

Tara and her friends are now seniors at the Academy and no-one can forget for a second that the Company is watching. It will be a nailbiting chase to the finish line to see who will be offered a contract and finally achieve what they have been working towards for so long ... and who will have to find a new dream.

The Dance Academy: Arts Education website

The Dance Academy: Arts Education website supports middle years educators with engaging classroom activities designed to enhance students' knowledge, skills and understanding of dance – as both artist and audience.

The website features video clips and production materials from the award-winning television series Dance Academy, stimulus for over 100 downloadable teaching activities that have been aligned with the Australian Curriculum areas of The Arts (Dance, Drama, Media and Visual Arts), English, and Health and Physical Education (Personal Development).

Each activity provides educators with a contemporary approach to exploring elements of The Arts within their classroom, matched with printable student activity sheets and links to additional support materials – including instructional video clips and fact sheets developed by Ausdance.

The teaching activities are searchable by Curriculum Study Area(s), tag word(s) or by one of the four main themes:

• Dance skills – explores body, movement, technique, choreography, performance and communication through dance
• Dance knowledge – explores genre, culture, history and styles of dance, safe dance practices, dance process and dance vocabulary
• Production – explores stagecraft, costume, lighting, design, event management, and technology and innovation within dance production
• Health and wellbeing – explores health, fitness, human movement, nutrition, personal development and identity
