Once you get a membership you'll get access to our instagram groupchat where we're most active on: we give updates incase anything happens, plan events and trips as well as planning meetings outside of our society, concerts and just talk in general.
Our plans for 2023/24
For the society this year we offer a range of activities for us to all do together such as; competition dancing, socials and regular dancing. So everyone is aware, you aren't forced to participate in everything just come when you want!
Competition Dancing: This is where a set choreographed dance has been made and if you'd like to perform on a stage, you'd audition to be part of the group to bring back a trophy for out society!!
Socials: This is where we just meet to talk and hang out that could include watching K-pop videos, Kdramas, survival shows, doing quizzes or playing games.
Dancing: This is where a joint decision on a K-pop song is chosen then taught so we can record our performances for Instagram/TikTok/YouTube (we ask for your permission before recording or posting anything).
Plus: This is anything extra that is planned as friends that have same interest like holiday parties like Halloween or Christmas, random dance plays, concerts, eating out, trips, collaborations with other societies, K-pop clubs, offical dance classes and much, much more!!
Come and see us on the 18th of Sept 2023 at the freshers fair on Kedleston campus!!
We'll tell you all about our 'Give It a Go' sessions so you can get a taste of what we do throughout the year <3
