Dance
Dance at Loughborough welcomes everyone, offering a wide range of disciplines for all skill levels.
Dance at Loughborough is a vibrant and inclusive community, welcoming dancers of all abilities to train, perform, and share their passion for dance.
With around 150 members across nine exciting styles, our club offers a place for both recreational and competitive dancers to thrive.
Whether you are stepping onto the stage for the first time or perfecting your skills for competition, you’ll find opportunities to perform at our Winter Showcase, sell-out annual shows, and the UK’s largest inter-university dance competition, which we proudly host. Our dedicated coaches and friendly team spirit create the perfect environment to learn, grow, and enjoy dance in all its forms.
Ways you can get involved
Athletic Union (AU)
Loughborough Students Dance Club trains in nine styles: Latin, Wildcard, Ballet (Levels 1 and 2), Tap (Levels 1 and 2), Commercial (Levels 1 and 2), Lyrical (Levels 1 and 2), Contemporary (Levels 1 to 3), Hip Hop (Levels 1 to 3), and Jazz (Levels 1 to 3).
Each style trains for one hour per week, with additional rehearsals scheduled before performances. Levels 1 and 2 (with some exceptions) compete in our on-campus inter-university dance competition, judged by industry professionals and attended by over 20 universities.
Non-competing classes perform at both the Winter Showcase and February shows. Throughout the year, members enjoy a packed calendar of performances, training sessions, and special events, all in a supportive, creative atmosphere.

For those looking to participate in sport on a more casual basis, there’s lots to choose from.
