The Cambridge University Ballet Club (CUBC) is student-led society dedicated to promoting the art of classical ballet both wi ... thin the University of Cambridge community and to the local public in Cambridgeshire. CUBC provides regular classes in ballet technique, contemporary dance, repertoire, pas de deux, and ballet fitness for all levels from beginners to advanced taught by both student and professional teachers. We produce a large-scale annual performance each year, recently performing Swan Lake with more than a hundred dancers in March 2018. CUBC also regularly collaborates with other student societies to produce performances for their events and recitals. Our past partners have included the Cambridge Graduate Orchestra, the University of Cambridge Philharmonic Orchestra, Jesus College, the Cambridge University Dance Society and the Cambridge University Law Society, among others. The core mission of our society is to increase accessibility to ballet, an art form that has historically been exclusive to members of higher social and economic classes, while maintaining the professionalism that is integral to technical dance training and which integrally makes the beauty of ballet. We create accessibility by charging low prices for our classes, especially for students, and performing frequently in the local area, and we strive for professionalism by only hiring well-qualified teachers and studiously upholding high standards for all performances. read more
