Dance

The University of Portsmouth Dance Club offers a variety of different memberships, for those who want to compete at national competitions, or perform at dance events (including Sportos' Dance Off - one of Team UOP's biggest charity events), or to simply come to our weekly play classes for a bit of fun!

The styles offered across the different memberships are Ballet, Tap, Contemporary, Jazz, Hip Hop, Commercial and Wildcard. We also offer weekly varied classes which introduce members to different styles of dance we wouldn’t usually do. Perform and Compete members are also invited to weekly strength and conditioning - encompassing both fitness training and technique specific sessions.

Dance club has been awarded Club of the Year at the UOP Sports Awards for both 2024 & 2025 - a huge achievement, as well as the title of RAG Club of the Year for 2021, 2022, 2023 & 2025!
