About Our Group

LJMU Dance Team offers weekly classes in various dance styles, such as: Hip-hop, Jazz, Ballet, Tap, Lyrical, Contemporary and Wildcard. We welcome everyone regardless of ability and have members ranging from professional dancers to those who just love a boogie on a night out! Our own club members and some external teachers run the classes and teach routines in preparation for various performance opportunities throughout the academic year. We will be hosting a Christmas show this year whereby all classes, both casual and competition, will showcase what they have been working on!  This year, for the first time, we will being doing an end of year show as well to showcase our amazing competition pieces in full costumes! <3. 

LJMU Dance Team aims to partake in at least three university dance competitions a year, which usually fall during the months of February and March. Our team will play host to and also travel to compete with universities across the country and we are delighted that this year the Liverpool Lighthouse will be host to our dance competition. These competitions do not only provide a great opportunity for our dancers to perform in a competitive but fun environment, but also enable a true team spirit to grow within LJMU Dance Team. We learn chants and have a night out after which is always so much fun. Most comps are also live streamed to allow for family to be able to watch from home :). 

For those who don't want to compete do not worry! Casual classes will be run each week for those who just want to come for a dance and a bit of exercise every now and again. We have four open classes this year which vary from lycrical/contemp, jazz and hip hop.

Key Information

Classes are based at the LJMU Sports Hall Studio 1 and the activities room within the Student Life Building, and will be timetabled on a weekly basis with the days and times varying depending on what styles you choose to participate in.

Why Should You Join Us?

We cannot wait to welcome new members into the club and for anyone who loves to dance or wants to try something new, LJMU Dance Team is the place to be! We ensure that all our members make great friendships during their time with us, and our regular socials are a fantastic way for you to form bonds with your fellow dancers outside of the dance studio. Our socials are mostly on Wednesday nights at LEVEL where we drink, dress up, play games and dance – a lot! However, for those who are not big drinkers fear not as we will include everyone, socials can vary from quiz nights to a social meal out, for a chance to get to know you all better! During Easter break we provide our members with the opportunity to go away on Sports Tour, where you can enjoy a week of laughter away in the sun with all your team mates and make memories that will never be forgotten!

We understand competing in front of people can be daunting, especially in dance - so if you just want to dance for fun or make new friends we're still the team for you! It is a fun way to exercise where you can learn some new styles and then party with us after!

In 2016 we won the Society of the Year and in 2020 we were awarded Unite Students Non BUCS Team of the Year. With each year of dance getting bigger and better, we only hope to improve and give you the best university experience with us - so sign up and join our dance family!! In 2023 we again won Non BUCS team of the year!
