Worcester Saints Dance Society
About us
We are a diverse group of dancers who all share a passion for dance and performance.
We run open classes with a range of exciting routines which are choreographed and taught by our talented team captains. These classes are open to everyone! Even if you've never danced before, come along and give them a go!
In addition to our open classes, there's the opportunity to audition for our competition teams. Each dance style has a team which represents the university, around the country, at competitions. If this is something that interests you then come down to an informal group audition in front of the team captains. You can audition for as many teams as you like!
There will also be many performance opportunities for every member of the society. Both our open classes and competition teams have the chance to perform in many fundraising events over the year. These include our annual christmas and end of year shows.
Like many other clubs and societies, we also meet up for social on a wednesay evening! Each week has a theme, simply dress according and meet the rest of the team in the Students Union, our social secretaries take care of the rest! Be prepared for an evening of fun as we take part in many drinking games before dancing the night away in Tramps. But remember... no phones, bags or heels!
