PSEB Class 12 Dance is a senior secondary subject offered under the Punjab School Education Board, the body that came into existence through a legislative enactment in November 1969 for the development and promotion of school education in the state of Punjab. The Board is headquartered at Vidya Bhawan, Phase-8, SAS Nagar (Mohali), Punjab. Candidates take Dance as one of their Class 12 subjects alongside their other senior secondary papers, and the subject is assessed in two complementary halves: a written theory paper sat with the Board's Class 12 annual examination, and a practical examination conducted with an external examiner appointed by the Board. The theory half carries the vocabulary and knowledge side of the subject, while the practical half is where performance is judged live. The PSEB Class 12 Dance case studies are 5 cases and about 3,809 words.
