VIU Dance Team

Vancouver Island University's Dance Team! Follow us on Instagram and TikTok We have since adapted to become a VIUSU Club team in the fall of 2023.

The Dance Team was first introduced as a VIU Athletics club in the fall of 2013. Since this change we have become more connected with our community through the clubs network and have also been able to focus on our competitions, shows, and fundraisers. The team is currently coached by Katelyn Kurtz and Jane Dean, alongside assistant coach Madeline Joseph.
