Carolina Competitive Dance Club

The Carolina Competitive Dance Club at the University of South Carolina provides students with the opportunity to participate in both performance and competitive club dance teams, allowing flexibility based on individual preferences. Members can choose to participate in one or both teams, depending on their preference. The club features a variety of dance styles, including jazz, hip hop, contemporary, and tap—making it the only club on campus to offer tap performances. Each dance genre offered within the club is available for both teams, ensuring a well-rounded experience for all members. 

​

Performance Team: Our performance team is open to all members and does not have an audition process. Our performance team promotes an inclusive environment among all dancers and their skill levels. The performance team showcases their routines at our end-of-semester showcase. Members of our performance team also have the opportunity to choreograph their own solos, duets, or trios. 

​

Competitive Team: Our competitive team members go through an audition process based on stage presence rather than flexibility or advanced technical skills. This allows us to promote an inclusive environment for all dancers. While competitive team members are not required to participate in the performance team, they are welcome to do so. Our competitive team showcases routines at competitions and our end-of-semester showcase. Members of our competitive team members also have the opportunity to compete in solos, duets, and trios at competitions and showcases.

The Carolina Competitive Dance Club fosters artistic expression, technical development, and a strong sense of community, offering an enriching experience for dancers of all skill levels.
