PE Specification - what is a team?

Hi everybody. My daughter is currently studying for her AQA GCSE PE and as part of that, her teachers have changed her individual options so many times that it means her specialist area (dance) will now have to be a "team" sport. She has a duet that she wants to use but we can't see whether a duet would be classed as a team. We've searched all the specification but it purely says you can use dance as a solo, duet or group performance. Has anybody come across this before please?

Have you spoken to the teacher as they can contact the exam board directly or you could try contacting the exam board and see what they say

Thanks for your reply. Yes, the teacher has said she will contact AQA but in the meantime my daughter has to write about the dance so it could all be wasted if the duet doesn't count as a group/team!

Could the dance be adapted to add a third person just in case?
If not I’d say write about the dance anyway and hope for the best.

Unfortunately not as it has to be in a performance setting and this was choreographed for a duet and impossible to adapt for a third.
