About us and classes
Come and join University of Liverpool’s biggest dance society. We offer weekly classes in a variety of different dance styles which cater for all abilities, including: Ballet, Tap, Lyrical, Fitness, Jazz, Commercial Street, Contemporary and Heels.
Showcases
We have multiple opportunities to perform including our two annual showcases which everyone in the dance society is encouraged to get involved in. Our shows take place on the stage in Mountford hall with professional sound and lighting as well as a photographer who captures beautiful moments of our dancers on stage. We prepare well in advance for these performances and have a dress rehearsal prior to the show to make everything run as smoothly as possible. Tickets for the showcases are open to everyone so our dancers are welcome to invite friends and family to watch.
Competitions
The Dance Society extends beyond campus and gets involved with many other Universities. We have our own competition squads who train weekly to compete in several dance competitions around the UK, as well as hosting our very own. Our competition rankings from this season are as follows:

Socials
We host a variety of socials throughout the year including; club nights, bar crawls, meals, film nights and so much more! They are a great way to meet other members who don’t do the same classes as you.
Charity
As a society, we love giving back to the community. Last year we raised over £1500 for charity as well as winning the guild Fundraiser of the year. We work closely with Mencap, a local independent charity that promotes equality for people with a learning disability. Our charity coordinator teaches weekly classes with choreography that is simple but extremely engaging and always puts a bright smile on their faces. This is a lovely experience for both the Mencap members and the society, as some of our members have the opportunity to attend and help out at these sessions. Alongside this we also have many other fundraisers throughout the year, including; our yearly dance-a-thon (with all profits going towards children in need), bake sales, our dance calendar and many more.
Memberships
Memberships are FREE this year and we will still be providing inexpensive dance classes that are welcome for everyone to come along to.
