Club Series: Inside the Beat of Dance Club

10/16/2024

As the doors open to the school's dance club, enthusiastic and passionate dance members shake Logos' school grounds with their rhythmic moves. Following along with the contagious beats and tunes of music that pulsate throughout the room. Welcome to this year's dance club! Where the energy is filled with positivity, encouragement, and determination among everyone!

The dance club was founded by a group of students who shared a passion for dancing and getting lost in the captivating sound of music. They wanted to create a comfortable space where individuals who shared the common passion could come together, learn from each other, grow with one another, and showcase their talent. The club's mission is to provide a fun and supportive environment for students to express themselves creatively through dance.

"We, as a club, plan to gather and learn different dances every week. When given the opportunity, we also plan to organize performances for that event." - Heewoo Kim (G12), Founder of Dance club

So far, the club members have been exploring different styles of dancing, like K-pop and trendy Tik Tok dances. Every Tuesday, shortly after school, the dancers have been meeting up for dance practices in the new MPR and have been learning and improving their dancing skills. Although for some who don't perfect a new dance, the club really emphasizes to not give up and to persist with good effort into practicing further. The environment in each class is filled with encouragement and support from one member to another.

"We encourage students to step out of their comfort zone and express themselves through dancing. Dance club has marked a great presence annually in the Logos Talent Show, and so I think the performances we showcase each year definitely makes our club unique and special." - Heewoo Kim (G12), Founder of Dance club

Joining the LIS dance club offers a wide range of benefits for students, from physically to emotionally and socially. Students can improve their physical fitness and coordination while also relieving stress and anxiety. Learning and performing dances can help boost confidence and self-esteem. The club also allows students to get out of their comfort zone by providing opportunities to meet new people and build friendships, learn about different cultures and dance styles, and develop collaboration skills. Overall, being a part of Logos' dance club is truly a rewarding and fun experience that offers a sense of belonging and community while also providing an opportunity for students to develop personal growth.
