Proposed Award Title

After some consideration, I have decided that in relation to my future career development, I would like my award title to be:  BA (Hons) Professional Practice (Dance), the rationale behind which, I have written below.

I feel that due to my continuous training and past experiences, dance is the field where my strengths and knowledge lie, and it is also where I would like my future career to continue to take me. 

Whilst studying at The Hammond School, the syllabus had a strong emphasis on dance, particularly ballet, and while we did also study Singing and Acting, dance was the main focus. Hence, I graduated with a National Diploma in Professional Dance. Since graduating from college, I have been employed as a dancer in multiple contracts. Since 2007 I have danced in various shows and also spent a while freelancing- throughout this time I was employed in a purely dancer capacity. 

I would like my award title to be BA (Hons) Professional Practice (Dance) as this course is based on our professional experience. My experience to date has been primarily within dance, and it seems natural to develop my National Diploma in Professional Dance into a BA (Hons) Professional Practice (Dance). It is through my experiences both at dance college and as a professional dancer that have led to my line of inquiry. 

My line of inquiry, and this award title, will be beneficial to me in my future career developments. I hope to one day continue my career within the dance field as a dance teacher. My line of inquiry, although not specific to teaching dance, I hope will increase my employability as a teacher in the long- term. The findings and knowledge I will gain, through my inquiry will be passed on to my dance students one day. I hope to give them a better understanding and further education surrounding diet and nutrition in dancers. With this aim in mind, I hope this award title will be beneficial in continuing my career and securing further dance related work.
