Dance

UCLan Dance Club is a sports club that has been part of the UCLan SU for many years, most recently being awarded the sports award for ‘Most Improved Club 2024’! We run open classes for all abilities, attend national competitions, put on shows and events and arrange social activities for all our members. Whether you have danced all your life or you have never danced before, our classes are a great way to enjoy dancing and meet new people. We currently teach classes in: Ballet, Lyrical, Contemporary, Heels, Jazz, Hip Hop, Irish and Tap so there’s definitely something for everyone! 

We also offer the opportunity to be a part of our competition team who compete at National University Dance Competitions. In the 2024 competition season, we competed at Leeds Carnegie’s and the University of Manchester’s dance competitions, winning several awards for our routines and also managing to secure ‘best team spirit’! Competitions are a great way to make new friends, watch incredible performances from other universities and make some amazing memories. This year, we’re even hosting our own competition so we can welcome other universities into UCLan and host them!! 

At Dance Club, we also love a good social! Whether it’s a night out, karaoke, quiz night or movie night, there’s an activity for everyone. This year, alongside our weekly Wednesday night socials, we will also be introducing more sober socials so that everyone can get involved! As a club, we also love to collaborate with other sports teams and societies during our socials to create amazingly memorable nights out.  

If you love performing, want to try something new or make new friends then we would love to welcome you into UCLan Dance Club this year. You can buy your membership from the SU page and find all the information you need to join our classed using our linktree: https://linktr.ee/uclandanceclub
