Idol Society
Hello and welcome to the Idol Society! We are the stage stars of Staffordshire University! We are unique individuals that bonded over a love of idol culture and wish to share that dream with as many stars as possible!
What are idols?
Idols are entertainers that perform their own songs, or covers of other popular songs live to an audience. They have various themes that can fit everyone's interests. Examples of K-Pop Idol groups are BTS, Straykids, BlackPink, (G)- idle, and Newjeans! We also love J-Pop like Perfume, Q'ulle, and Vocaloid! No matter what kind of music you listen to or your performing experience, being an idol isn't all about showing your own smile. It's about putting a smile on those who see you having fun!
What do we do?
For our sessions, we have different sections which include mirrored dances, random dance playlists, learning dances together and more! Despite our focus on idol culture, this does not limit us to music from other countries. Some of our idols prefer to focus on western songs or contemporary styles.
I haven't danced before but I want to join...
That's amazing! Idol is for the people who have always dreamt of being part of a dance group but never had the courage to or felt like they weren't great at dancing. We welcome anyone of any talent and will help you learn techniques, moves, and skills so you can say "Yes, I can dance like Taemin!". Although we aren't professionals, we'll do our best so we can learn together.
Anyone is able to join us, we're always excited to have new members! We promote confidence and encourage our members to try new things through the power of dance!
When do we meet?
We meet twice a week: on Tuesdays 4:30-6:15 in the Sixth Form College's dance studio, then 6:40-9PM in Flaxman L410 and Thursdays between 5-9 PM in Flaxman L410.
When are your taster sessions?
(Annoucing new dates for 2024 soon!)
