What our students think
It has been incredible to be able to bring my two passions together.
The collective offer of modules, tutors, facilities and undergraduate dance companies has made this course an amazing experience. It’s given me the opportunity to experiment in different areas of dance and to develop the skills and contacts I need for a professional career.
I’ve performed at the Edinburgh Fringe and at a conference in New York. Being part of Mrs Pankhurst’s Players, a feminist theatre collective made up of staff and students, has been an amazing experience.
I was a member of Edge Hill’s Undergraduate Dance Company. I’ve worked with international choreographers and music professionals, performed at festivals and events across the country, and appeared in a couple of music videos.
