Additional information (e.g. trips)	Due to the NEA percentage of the course being so high at 60%, it is highly advised that students should attend the GCSE Dance clubs that are offered at school and in addition to this, students would also benefit from attending additional dance classes outside of school to improve their performance skills. It is also highly recommended that pupils practise in their own time; this will ultimately help to achieve higher grades.
