Sensational Season for Kent Dance’s Competitive Squads

Competition season is an exciting time for any sport society on campus; a chance to showcase the hard work and dedication given by each member. It is also a chance to see what other universities have to offer and represent Kent with pride. Kent Dance is one of these teams, putting hours and hours of practice into each of their dance routines before it is performed against many other university squads.

Dance may not be classed as a ‘sport’ but it is a perfect example of talent, team work and commitment, with dancers arguably working just as hard as any sport team on campus. This competition season has been one of Kent Dance’s best; first beating Canterbury Christ Church in a tough Varsity battle, then going on to place at three other dance competitions across the country: Bucks, Sussex and Loughborough.

Kent has held their own against universities that offer degrees in dance, proving that hard-work and perseverance really does pay off. In total Kent Dance has won 17 trophies this comp season, including a first-place win for ballet and best girl at Loughborough, the country’s biggest university dance competition. As well as this, the best choreography award at Sussex was given to Advanced Contemporary, proving how imaginative and innovative Kent Dance choreographers are.

These competitions have been extremely rewarding, allowing for students to participate in something alongside their degree, the opportunity to travel to other universities, and make new friends.

Spring term rounded up Kent Dance with the annual show. At Lanfranc Theatre (Canterbury College) on Saturday 24^th and Sunday 25^th March, all ten competitive dance squads performed for the last time alongside some new and exciting show dances, a perfect way to celebrate the years success.

Each member of Kent Dance has done the university proud and the choreographers of each competition routine have showed that their talent and imagination is first class, proving that dance is one of the biggest and best societies on campus.
