ABOUT OUR CLUB
Here at Essex, we provide classes for all capabilities in Ballet, Contemporary, Street, Commercial and Jazz. This wide range of styles means there is something for everyone!
All dancers have a chance to be in our annual showcase held at the Lakeside Theatre. We also run auditions for squads which attend competitions. As part of a squad, you get to travel with your team and compete, making great memories.
We run socials, and there is an opportunity to get on to the committee or even teach a class! There are also plenty more events run by our club every year, making the Dance Club the perfect place to make friends!
how many teams do we have?
For the 2023/24 academic year, Essex Dance has 5 competition squads - Ballet, Contemporary, Commercial, Street and Jazz.
