Events
We already have so many exciting plans for the year ahaead of us and can not wait to share the plans with you all! Ranging from showcases to socials. Once again we are planning to host our very own Strictly Come Dancing in November/December. Team members are the 'professionals' and students from other Queen's clubs & societies are the 'celebrities'. This is a really fun way for friendships to form and to get people involved in dance.Last year we were involoved in an concert with orchesrta which raised money for Pure Mental NI this was so much fun to be involed in espescially getting to dance with a live orchestra. Our end year showcase is always a highlight of the year as we get to showcase all the hardwork we have put in throughout the year and show our friends and family. We are still currently in the planning stage for this upcoming year so keep an out on our social media to stay update on our events.
