What We Do
Welcome to DanceSoc, the University of Bath's dance society!
We are a large, diverse society offering participation in styles of dance including Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, lyrical, Tap and Hip-Hop.

- Competition teams for both intermediate and advanced categories.
- Attendance at 3 national competitions each year!

DanceSoc is a brilliant, inclusive society, where students can enjoy dancing with friends whilst improving choreography and technical skills.
