Events
This year we are planning two showcases, one before Christmas and one before Easter, for everyone to perform in. This gives an opportunity for both recreational and competitive dancers to showcase their hard work and dedication throughout the year. It also gives us a chance to perform for our peers as well as raise money for the club and our chosen charity. We encourage everyone to get involved with the showcases as it's a great way to bond as a club and show everyone what we're made of!
Competition Team
As well as our regular classes, we have an advanced competition team made up of Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Wildcard, Contemporary and Hip-Hop squads. We compete at the biggest inter-university dance competition in the UK at Loughborough University. In 2020, our Ballet Squad won 1st place and our Contemporary Squad came 3rd place in their respective categories. This is the best Plymouth has ever done at a dance competition, and we hope that this year will be just as successful! We are also competing at a second competition again this year, this time in Portsmouth. Auditions are held at the start of the academic year for the competition team and full commitment is compulsory for squad members.

Class Timetable - commencing 4th October 2021
