RSO - UMass Dance Club
UMass Dance Club is a dance organization that values incorporating dance into our academic lives. We specialize in student choreography, collective movement, musicality, and emotional expression. We choreograph using mainly contemporary styles such as hip-hop, lyrical, modern, and jazz, though we are always open to other genres. The dancers of UMass Dance Club also value ballet technique as a significant foundation in the art of dance.
UMass Dance Club was founded around inclusivity and holds dance classes open to all UMass students periodically throughout the semester. As of the fall semester of 2013, UMass Dance Club has had a performance group as a way to encourage experienced dancers to remain committed to our team and improve our performance ability. To be a part of the performance group, we have auditions in the fall at the beginning of each academic year. In the past, we have performed at both on and off-campus shows, including UMass Stage Crew Dance Team's Spring Showcase, Accepted Students Day, and the yearly Five College Relay For Life.
Since the fall of 2016, we have hosted our own showcase every semester. We invite our families and friends to attend the show, and we invite other art groups from UMass to perform with us.
