DanceIt! is a Student-Led Volunteering Project which works in partnership with Holborn Community Association every Wednesday during term time. Volunteers lead dance classes specialising in a variety of styles, catered towards older participants.  The aim of the project is to share our love of dance with the older participants and teach them a broad range of dancing styles. These sessions provide the participants with exercise to improve their strength and mobility, as well as helping them to improve their mental health and wellbeing by connecting through dance and building a community, especially during periods where many are isolated.

You can sign up to volunteer by having a UCL Dance Society Standard membership: https://studentsunionucl.org/clubs-societies/dance-society. 

Find the sign up link on our LinkTree @ucldancesociety on Instagram or join our WhatsApp community! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to our Project Leaders' contacts below:
