Going To Ucl And I Want To Dance? Any Dance Classes Nearby?

The dance committee looks pretty poor. Shizer even. they cancelled all of the dance classes this term because of having no space =/

so. i was wondering if anyone knows if there are dance schools which offer classes, such as ballet, jazz, modern, contemporary etc. nearby....rather than me relying on the SU...

Please and thank you :smile: xx
Yeah, there's a pretty good dance school just up the road by the name of King's College London.

Am i able to join King's dance classes if i pay for them? that seems pretty accessible too, and some people were saying it's possible...

I joined the UCL dance soc but don't plan to next year. I have a bit of experience, but their beginners classes were far from beginner level so I felt that for me it was a waste of money. I'm considering going to The Place instead.

The dance society aren't too bad, but lessons are scheduled only during the first term and then second term is dedicated to shows. They do run a street jazz class and a hiphop class, but as i didnt finish labs til 6 i could only go to hiphop. As it was the only class i could make, it wasnt really worth me joining the society. If you join, go to as many classes as possible.

ULU run a latin and ballroom dance society, and the classes are £4-£6, but take place in old street. However, i really like it so i try and make the effort to go

So the classes are rather tough?

For me, I found that they were. I went into it hoping it would act as a refresher class as I hadn't danced for a while and I assumed that as it was supposed to be a beginners class, that they would go over things and explain how to do some of the harder steps, but instead they just seemed to expect everyone to be able to know what they meant and to be able to keep up. There were a few other people stood around looking a bit confused and lost too.

Mind if I ask how much dance experience do you have? And maybe we could go for dance classes together if I end up in UCL this sep :yep:

About a year of ballet, which is what I still want to do. I picked it up quite recently (had a break from it at college because I was poor! lol). I did tap when I was younger, but am not so fussed about that anymore. How about you? It would be cool to have someone to go to classes with :cool:
