Weekly K-Pop Dance Classes:
We host two classes every week that cover both girl group and boy group choreographies. No prior experience is necessary — whether you’re a complete beginner or have danced before, we welcome everyone! Learn the hottest trending songs, improve your dance skills, and, most importantly, have fun! Our dedicated Dance Officers will guide you through each step, ensuring you feel confident and engaged.
YouTube Dance Covers:
Be part of the spotlight! Our society is known for producing high-quality K-Pop dance covers on our YouTube channel. You’ll have multiple opportunities to participate in these covers throughout the academic year. We host in-person shoots for both beginner-friendly and advanced level performances.
Some covers are open for sign-up, meaning anyone can join, but be sure to be quick because it’s on a first come, first serve basis! Others are audition-based to ensure our highest level of performance.
Regardless, being part of these covers is a great way to showcase your passion and creativity, with plenty of behind-the-scenes support from our tech officers.
Make sure to check out our YouTube channel to see past performances and get a feel for what’s coming next!
