UCL Dance Society is an all-inclusive society about all things dance. Whether you are an absolute beginner or a professional, we have something for you! We offer the opportunity to dance and choreograph in 7 shows throughout the year. Don’t forget about our competition team too, available with a quick membership upgrade !
CLASSES : We offer free weekly classes for our members run by experienced, professional teachers in tap, ballet, jazz, contemporary, hip-hop, break and commercial. This year, we've also added student-led Absolute Beginner classes for anyone who wants to grow their confidence before jumping into their first beg/int dance class!
SHOWS: Each year, we host numerous events and shows, most of which are sign-up-based, providing you with lots of fun ways to get involved! These shows include: 24 Hour Show, Freshers' Show, Triple Bill Charity Show, Spring Showcase, Societies' Charity Show, Leavers' Show, and our annual Bloomsbury Show, which takes place in our very own off-West End Bloomsbury Theatre 🎭
COMPETITIONS: We also participate in multiple inter-university competitions in both Intermediate and Advanced categories. We even host our own annual dance competition called TranscenDance! Our competitive teams are always very successful. This past season we received a total of 34 trophies and an additional 6 awards across all our teams, including most supportive university!!

VOLUNTEERING: We also run a successful volunteering programme called Dance It!, where we teach dance at a local community centre in Holborn. You can volunteer once, or as many times as you'd like! All the seniors are especially lovely and enthusiastic <3
SOCIALS: Dance Society is a huge society, so we hold regular socials in a wide variety of settings (drinking and non-drinking included) for you to meet other like-minded students!
