The UEL Dance Collective is an undergraduate dance performance company.
The company was established in 2015 to offer BA (Hons) Dance: Urban Practice students more performance opportunities, both internally and externally. Each term they bring in a new choreographer to teach. An audition process is taken to ensure that all students gain a fair chance at joining the Collective.
The UEL Dance Collective is about giving the students the chance to take on something new whilst also giving them the chance to perform.

I was the Social Media Intern/Marketing Assistant during term 1 and 2 for the UEL Collective. There is a new choreographer every term enabling company members to entail a new experience each semester; with a new choreographer there’s also new members. This is due to an audition being held allowing UEL students a great opportunity to take on during their time at the University.
