These updated BTEC Tech Award in Performing Arts logs are a tried-and-tested resource designed to support Dance, Drama, and Musical Theatre students in achieving top band marks for Component 3 (Activities 1, 2, and 4) with a more comprehensive approach to the skills log as suggested in the examiners report 2024. Carefully structured and classroom-proven, they model the reflective writing needed to secure Distinction-level outcomes by ensuring students continuously address the brief, revisit it throughout their responses, and write in a clear, comprehensive way while remaining close to the 800-word limit. Best used during the teaching and learning phase, these logs give students the confidence and framework to master the style, depth, and focus required for success, making them an invaluable tool for guiding learners towards consistent high achievement. Produced by teachers currently delivering the course and fully up to date with the latest examiner report guidance, these resources are designed to reflect the very best practice for Component 3 success. The logs are based on past Component 3 themes, which can be easily swapped for the current brief as well as adapted for any performing arts discipline. The real value lies in the structured questioning and modelled responses, making these resources highly adaptable and an excellent starting point for preparing students for success. As an added bonus, the pack also includes a dedicated Activity 2 resource — focusing on skills and techniques in Dance — to support the area that is most often marked down, giving teachers and students a helpful extra tool to boost marks. There is also clear reference to professional practitioners, their theories, and practical exercises, ensuring students can make strong and relevant industry links throughout their writing. In addition, the pack comes with two bonus Activity 2 resources, providing extra guidance on skills and techniques to further support students in the log where marks are most commonly lost.

I have delivered many, many dance cpd sessions over the years & the common question is ‘where do you find your music?’ So I have put together a list of my regular ‘go-to’ pieces, complete with the name of the artist, a direct link to that song on iTunes & themes that I think they could match with. This is obviously not a complete list but it is a really good start and I recommend building up your own library of 'music for dance - it makes finding suitable music so much quicker! But if I can give you one piece of advice when finding music for dance… don’t look for the perfect piece of music (it doesn’t exist!) - just look for a good match - then stop looking! Another tip - a good place to start are film scores - they’ve been written with a visual image in mind - doing The Romans? Then something on the score of ‘Gladiator’ will probably suit. This is mainly aimed at KS1 & 2, but a good piece of music doesn’t have age boundaries… I hope you enjoy them.
