SOCIALS
Although we love to Dance at our dance studio, we also love to meet outside of it. That is why we host social events every month! The activities that we do at them can vary, sometimes we go for a meal, do a board game night, bowling, movie night, mini golf, themed party, etc. During the year we also do socials with other sports teams or societies. If you have an idea for our next social do not hesitate to share it with our Events Manager Molly.
AWARDS
OUTSTANDING COMMEETIEE - 2023
CLUB DEVELOPMENT OF THE YEAR 2021 + 2022
CLUB OF THE YEAR 2021
We always organize our own awards ceremony and it is also our last social of the year to summarize the whole season and celebrate our achievements. During the event we are presenting the awards from the teachers, giving speeches, playing games, announcing important information, for example, new members of the committee and saying goodbye to those who will not join us next year.
TOUR
Every year, usually for 1 week around the end of April, TOUR happens. Previously this was organized by the company I Love Tour or Outgoing, however this might change. This year we are considering few destinations like Croatia, Span or Italy. Please let us know if you are intrested to join us this year!
SPONSORSHIPS
POLICIES
The policy at the University of Greenwich is that initiations are prohibited! However, we know that the 'stereotype' and reputation of sports groups at many Universities may blur this message, so we at a dance just want to reiterate that we do NOT hold any form of initiation. Instead of it, we host a ''TEAM- BUILDER'' social for Competition Teams with fun games and challenges.Example: In 2022 we had a Squid Games themed social and in 2023 we had Orange is the new Black themed social, where members took part in challenges such as musical statues, apple bobbing or drinking Jenga, boat race. We had a “safe word” in case anyone felt uncomfortable at any time. By also letting members know all the information when they turn up to the social creates a fun but safe environment, one key thing to remember is not to single anyone out.
