The Dance Imperial Show is back and its bigger than ever!
Back from 14th to 16th March and with an unprecedented cast of more than 150 dancers, Dance Imperial Show is bound to be one of the most exciting college events of the whole year. Now running the show for the fifth year in a row, Dance Imperial offers three consecutive nights of entertainment with choreographies from the six dance societies in Imperial: Belly Dance, Dance Club, Dance Company, Funkology, ICSM Dance, Pole & Aerial.
Whether you are a dancer or not, we are confident that you will enjoy the show. All societies showcase choreographies that they have performed at national competitions, often meriting several trophies, or that they have been rehearsing in class for weeks. You will be able to be amazed by a range of dance styles, from belly dancing to hip hop, from jazz to pole dancing, as well as salsa, contemporary, aerial, ballet, bachata and tap.
But that’s not it. What we are most proud of, and makes the show especially unique, are the collaborations. These are new dances choreographed exclusively for the show, mixing styles from different societies. This year we will keep you on the edge of your seat with a bachata and hip hop couple dance, a sassy jazz and tap choreo, a tap and ballroom fusion, and a jazz and hip hop piece. To end the show, Dance Company and Funkology will be featuring in the finale. Imperial is not all about science and engineering, and collaborations give dancers the chance to get creative and experiment with new styles.
DI Show has been a highlight of the student experience for many dancers, and everyone on stage has the best time performing. Our passion for dancing is really conveyed to the audience, and we hope you will want to enjoy the Dance Imperial community by the end of the show (membership is free!).
