LSE’s Annual Dance Show

by Jenny Lee on 23 Feb 2010 in Sport

The first day of March, will see the much anticpiated, annual dance show, Flashdance. Hosted by the LSE AU Dance Club (formally the LSESU Dance Society), LSE’s annual Dance Show is bigger and better than ever this year. With a variety of different dances including ballet, capoeira, hip hop, burlesque and jazz, this show promises to be the best yet. The theme this year is ‘Hollywood’, so expect everything from action to disco, the Moulin Rouge to Michael Jackson…
An overall explosion of Hollywood glamour.
LSE AU Dance Club 09-10, is a 350+ member strong non-academic club. We hold weekly dance classes for all our members in a variety of styles and also hold numerous one off workshops to introduce new dance types. We wanted to continue with the tradition of hosting a Dance Show to show that LSE students can dance. We wanted to create a bigger show to mark our first year in the AU and to prove to everyone that Dance is a sport.
Above all, this event is about raising money for charity. The first of which is EducAid, a charity which runs the only free secondary schools in Sierra Leone. Last year, Jenny (co-captain) flew there to volunteer for two months over the Summer. With over 10 years of civil war, their plight has been largely mediatised. Due to the war, education has  been neglected and as an academic institution, we hope that any funds we raise will be able to contribute to the amazing work this charity does.

The second charity the Dance Club are raising for is ‘Bisee Books’. Set up in 2008 in memory of 5 girls who passed away in a coach crash in Ecuador, in particular Emily Sadler, a close friend of Jenny’s, this charity is close to our hearts. This charity aims to provide books for disadvantaged school children in Puerto Lopez, Ecuador where the girls were due to volunteer. For more information visit: http://www.biseebooks.org.uk/
