Teaching Dance Clubs
University of Alberta Dance Club -
This huge organization provides affordable dance lessons to large numbers of
people. Students include U of A students and alumni but also members of
the public of a wide variety of ages and occupations. Classes are
typically very large (often 100 or more) and are taught by a combination of
teachers and TA's (teaching assistants). The teachers do a tremendous job
of detailing the dance steps and technique while the TA's work the room helping
individuals with specific points. Students rotate amoung partners in these
classes. This method is especially good for getting to know multiple dance
partners. As a result the club is better than average for mixing at
socials! Three cheers!!! For more details visit their website, www.uadc.ca
or call Their website has a place to sign up for a newsletter with
updates on club activities. One more point. The club balances
numbers by cutting off registration for single women when the m/f ratio gets out
of whack. Therefore, single women need to register early.
Registration is around the first of each university semester.
