INTRODUCTION
The Bachelor of Arts (Dance) program addresses the development of the dance leader. The course has been designed to encourage students to pursue individual goals as dance artists, choreographers, teachers, or researchers.
BA (Dance) is an intensive and challenging course with performance and classroom practice that are central to the philosophy of the program. Degree study provides an insight into dance as an art form and a social and educative experience. It develops skills in communication, critical thinking, research and analysis and demands that students be creatively productive in whatever area of interest they pursue.
Provision is made for students with dance backgrounds other than ballet and contemporary, such as classical Indian dance, to audition and continue to study in their specialist dance style.
BA (Dance) is an accepted prerequisite for Honours, Masters and Doctoral programs in performance research as well as for the Graduate Diploma of Education which provides the necessary qualifications for those who aim to work within the State Education School system.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
In addition to meeting University wide academic requirements for admission to a degree program a successful audition and interview for this award will be required. Satisfactory medical reports are also required.
Bridging Requirements, Special Requirements and Provision for Advanced Standing:
Advanced standing will generally not be applicable. However, four possible exceptional circumstances are:
1. Enrolment by students who have completed TAFE diploma and associate diploma courses in dance.
2. Enrolment by students who have completed the Advanced Diploma of Performing Arts (Dance) course or equivalent.
3. Transfer of students from similar partly completed courses at other tertiary institutions in similar areas of study.
4. Recognition of Prior Learning. This relates to non-institutionally based learning or practical experience. Students with significant professional performance or teaching experience may apply for appropriate exemptions.
Each case would be considered on its merits and advanced standing awarded only after investigation of the units studied and their relevance to this course in content and standard.
