Committee 18/19

“This Is 20!” Annual Show

kcladmin — Sat, 30 Mar 2019 14:47:15 +0000

KCL Dance Society’s 20th anniversary annual showcase took place on March 20-22nd 2019 at the iconic Greenwood Theatre.

Our fabulous cast of 2018/19 annual showcase – This Is 20!

We had 150 dancers and 36 choreographers in an entirely student produced show that ran for 3 fantastic nights, with the Friday show being completely sold out!

Following the shows, we also had 3 fantastic afterparties at The Vault, Guy’s Bar, and Patch East.

As always, tickets sales and any proceeds from the show went towards our chosen charities for the year: Green Candle Dance Company and Magpie Dance. This year, we have raised over £7,000 across all three nights! We also held a raffle draw every single night, which was open to dancers and members of the audience to help fundraise and provide the opportunity to win fantastic prizes such as brewery tours, cinema tickets, and restaurant vouchers!

In keeping with our conscious efforts to be environmentally friendly, our programmes were uploaded on Dropbox and available to view in image format on our Facebook event page.

View the trailer for our show on YouTube! This was kindly filmed by Ana Miha.
