CAPS NSC from 2026 to 2008, including May/June, September trials and November finals. Full PDFs with marking guidelines for Matric revision in South Africa.

South Africa’s Matric Dance Studies examinations assess theoretical knowledge of dance history, choreography, performance analysis and movement principles alongside practical assessment components. Under the National Senior Certificate (NSC) and CAPS curriculum, past papers remain one of the most effective preparation tools — highlighting exam structure, recurring essay themes and the way marks are allocated across written and performance-based tasks.

At SA Exam Papers, we maintain a comprehensive collection of Dance Studies Grade 12 past exam papers and memos, updated with the latest additions. Our archive spans from the most recent 2026 papers back to 2008, covering every major exam sitting: March (supplementary), May/June, September (trials/mocks), and November finals. All papers align with DBE requirements, are available in English and Afrikaans where applicable, and include full question papers, assessment guidelines where provided, and detailed memorandums.
