What You'll Learn
An international faculty of lecturers and acclaimed visiting guest artists teaches a diverse range of dance techniques: street dance, jazz, ballet and contemporary dance, drawn from a mix of Asian, African, European and American lineages. There will be opportunities for international exposure and cultural exchange. Allied classes that engage with somatic techniques, dance science, impulse work and acting techniques will also improve your technical proficiency, strength and expressive range in performance.
Creative rigour is encouraged across the programme through choreography classes, improvisation and a range of exciting collaborative projects with many different disciplines found within LASALLE. Performance opportunities are offered in multiple styles and situations in renowned arts venues and at festivals and institutions, both in Singapore and around the world.
The industry is your classroom as you work alongside professionals and in professional situations through industry partnerships and placements. You will be prepared to engage with and apply dance in multiple contexts through exposure to dance pedagogy and hands-on community-based projects.
