What do you love about the club?

I love IC dance club because it gives many people a sense of community to enjoy freely dancing. Getting into dancing can be a frightening experience but everyone is really friendly and more than willing to help, which I think makes for a really good environment for enjoyment!

Treasurer

Why do you love dancing?

It’s such an exciting and creative way of expressing our emotions and style, all the while having plenty of fun!

Team Captain (Ballroom & Latin)

Kennedy Au 3rd Year Physics

What is your favourite style of dance?

Samba because of how versatile the dancing is and how much the rhythm changes within one choreography (there are 9 rhythms in the Samba!).

Team Captain (Salsa & Bachata)

Rodrigo Ribeiro 2nd Year PhD Civil and Environmental Engineering

What is your favourite style of dance?

Salsa! I just love just how varied the style can be: from Afro-Rumba, New York, LA to many more! Eahc one with different rhythms that you can play and identify with. You can never be bored.

Vice Team Captain (S&B Open Level)

Loveday Hedgcock 2nd Year Chemistry

What is your favourite style of dance?

Salsa, it’s so fun and I love that you can dance with anyone once you know just a few basic steps.

Vice Team Captain (S&B Comps)

Raul Adriaensen 2nd Year PhD Earth Science and Engineering

What do you love about the club?

The openness and support from the community is my personal stand-out. Not sure if it’s just the character traits of the people who decide to start to dance or whether the hobby and music itself generates the great vibes. Much love to every member of this dance family.

Vice Team Captain (B&L Comps)

Alys Dally 2nd Year Chemistry

What do you love about the club?

I love the fact that in IC Dance Club if you ask practically anyone for help with learning a new step, or trying a new style they will leap at the chance to teach you. The kindness of people here is so beautiful.

I started dancing Latin when I was 9, but I stopped at 13 when I came to the UK to study. I have been having a delightful time at IC dance club as I can dance again.
