Welcome to Bristol Dance Society!
If you want to learn how to dance, try a new style, or continue honing your skills, dance society is for you. We run professionally taught classes in over 10 different styles and welcome all levels. The society holds an annual dance show, charity workshops as well as a variety of great social events! If you’re interested in a more competitive option, we also have competition teams which compete around the country!
Classes
Our classes are open to anyone 16+, student or non-student. The styles we offer weekly are ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, street, commercial latin, Irish, commercial and heels. Our classes cater to all levels of experience; the timetable offers a range of different ability classes in each style. All classes are payable only by card, before class.
We also take part in the SU Give it a Go where taster classes are only £1 between 16th - 29th September.
Membership
A full year membership* with us costs £25 and a half year costs £15.
Half year is only available in TB1 to year abroad students or students only in Bristol in TB1. Anyone can buy a half year membership for TB2.
