Dance
Dance at Loughborough offers a wide range of lessons including Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Contemporary, Hip Hop and Zumba. We offer lessons for all levels, so everybody is welcome.
Athletic Union Club
Within our Loughborough Students Dance Club, we have around 150 members dancing across 9 different styles (19 different classes). Each year we have a winter showcase for our non-competing dancers and anyone who would like to do a solo or small group dance. We also have our shows in February; this involves 4 different shows in 3 days to show all dances everyone has been working on throughout the year. Finally we have our competition which is the largest inter-university dance competition in the UK, around 20+ universities attend and dancing professionals are brought in to judge.
There are 9 different styles with 1+ team per style. The styles include: Latin, Wildcard, Ballet (level 1 & 2), Tap (level 1 & 2), Commercial (level 1 & 2), Lyrical (level 1 & 2), Contemporary (levels 1-3), Hip Hop (levels 1-3) & Jazz (levels 1-3). Levels 1 & 2 compete at our dance competition held on campus (with the exception of lyrical 2 & commercial 2) and perform in our February shows. Non-competing classes perform at both the winter and February shows.
All our members perform at various events through-out the year including our Winter Showcase, annual sell-out shows and Loughborough University Dance Competition, the largest inter-University dance competition in the UK, which we enter and host.
Training frequency
Each style trains for 1 hour a week. Extra rehearsals are put in place before show for run throughs of the event.
