Events
Socials
We run regular socials offering an exciting opportunity to explore new dance styles and connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for dance. These events typically consist of two main formats:
Whether you're a seasoned dancer or taking your first steps on the dance floor, our socials provide a welcoming environment for all to enjoy and expand their dance repertoire.
- Themed Socials with Beginner Lessons: These socials focus on a specific dance style and kick off with a one-hour beginner workshop run by a committee or alumni member. Following the workshop, there's ample time for social dancing (a form of dance with no set choreography, where the focus is on social connection rather than technique and footwork) and conversing with others.
- Dance Parties: Dance parties offer a lively atmosphere with a particular focus on the solo styles we offer. If you haven’t attended one of our solo dance classes, have no fear, the evening is all about having fun and expressing yourself through music, so there’s no need for specific moves. But if you have been attending our solo classes, it's an evening dedicated to dancing where you can show off what you’ve learnt in class.
Whether you're a seasoned dancer or taking your first steps on the dance floor, our socials provide a welcoming environment for all to enjoy and expand their dance repertoire.
