UCanDance

UCanDance The University of Canterbury Dance Club offers a social atmosphere to learn fun, partner dance. No experience is needed.

UCanDance is here to give students and non-students alike access to the world of dance in a fun and affordable manner. We strive to create a safe space where people can de-stress from Uni life and build connections with other like-minded people while getting groovy! Our classes are open to everyone (students, alumni and general public). Just $5 for student or $10 for non-students, which covers bot

h dance classes held that night. You don't even need to bring a dance partner. Music plays after classes till approx 9:30pm for you to practice your moves and socialise. Weekly Classes will be back at the start of Term 1 2025. We can't wait for another year of dancing though Uni life! Throughout the year we organise flashmobs, competitions, workshops, the UCanDance Ball, a Hanmer trip, and other social events. We also have close ties to Canterbury's other dance schools if you're looking to further your skills, specialise in particular dance styles, or learn a style we don't offer. With over 25 years of successful classes and events, we have several hundred members attending regularly, occasionally or just for our numerous parties. Come and join us and learn an awesome and very addictive skill that will never leave you short of a way to spend a night out. If you want to fix those two left feet, make friends and have fun, then we hope to see you at lessons!

Did you miss us? 🙈

Term 4 is at our door but that’s okay because in just two sleeps dance is back too 💃 This term’s classes will take place on Tuesdays every week from week 7 to week 12 so you can dance the stress of uni away. Almost every week will take place in Undercroft 101, with the exception of week 10, so you don’t have to worry about having to check the schedule each week 🤗

As always we invite you to join any week with a friend or yourself and have a fun boogie with some of our favourite styles brought back for spring 🥳

We can’t wait to see you there

It’s that time of year again… UCanDance is going on our annual Hanmer Springs trip!
Join us for a fun-filled weekend of dancing, relaxing, swimming, and good vibes!💃🕺

The trip will take place at the end of the third week of term 3, the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of August.
You don’t have to be a member of the club to go on the trip, all you have to do is fill out the linked sign up form and pay the fee of $100. This fee covers accommodation, dinner and breakfast, your entry to the 70s themed Saturday dance party, and entry to the hot pools! We are limited to 40 places, so get in quick! Additionally, the sign up/payment deadline is the 26th of July, so make sure to lock in your place before then.

We will be carpooling there and back, so if you have a car and can drive, great, and if you can’t, you’ll be assigned a car and driver.🚗

Message us on our social media or at [email protected] if you have questions or need more information! (Closer to the trip we will send out an email with more information and a recommended packing list to those who have signed up).
