Dance uses movement symbolically as a fundamental form of human expression. It is both empowering and powerful as a form of non-verbal communication. The intrinsic value of dance is the development of creative imaginative, physical, emotional and intellectual capacities. Dance is both physical and expressive – this is what makes it similar to and different from other art forms and physical activities.

Recently, dance has been revived here at Princess Helena College with the introduction of a new dance teacher. An elite Dance Company has been formed and dance on the KS3 curriculum has been transformed into high energy, motivating and challenging modules. Dance is constantly evolving with the help of both dance teachers introducing new styles, genres and techniques in their lessons in order to excite, stimulate and enthuse the girls at the school.
