It will be the second GCSE on the timetable at the Chapel Field North venue after it introduced a new course in GCSE dance earlier this year.
People can sign up now to start both of the courses this coming January, with auditions for prospective students taking place on Sunday, October 8 and Sunday, November 12.
Both GCSEs will be run as 18-month, part time courses on Sundays and they are open to people of all ages wanting to study outside of school or work hours.
Emma Brady, the GCSE dance lead tutor, said: 'One of the benefits of taking GCSE dance in a venue such as this are the other opportunities you have to get involved with. You are aware of the possibilities dance can provide, particularly in Norfolk.

'A key aim of the course delivery is to provide students with a wealth of extra curricular and industry specific opportunities on top of the course content; you get not only to watch and be involved in masterclasses and performances, but also meet and engage with people who are also in the industry, so it is fantastic in terms of personal development and progression.'
Meanwhile The Garage is also recruiting for the final few spaces on its new Performing Arts HNC courses that it announced earlier this year.
