I\u2019ve been dancing since I was around 18 months old <em>(whether you can call that dancing I don\u2019t know)<\/em> and haven\u2019t stopped since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>I started off with the basics like ballet and tap and then discovered that they weren\u2019t exactly my favourites. I changed dance school and had the chance to pick up many different classes, this ensured I was doing all the styles that I loved and enjoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>from dancing in the Royal Albert hall to being on tour with professionals from Strictly Come Dancing &#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The opportunities I have had from dance are ones that I\nnever thought I would have, from dancing in the Royal Albert hall to being on\ntour with professionals from Strictly Come Dancing, or simply getting up\nin-front of a large group of people and dancing and feeling confident in doing\nso. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dance enables me to keep improving, it enables me to work on\nthings I never thought I\u2019d be able to do, and it means there\u2019s always a new\nstyle or move to learn. Because of this, dance never gets boring! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since picking up dance again at Uni, I\u2019ve learnt new skills and\nstyles which I never thought I\u2019d be able to try! Dance gives me so many\nopportunities to grow &#8211; this includes anything from developing those new skills\nwithin dance to greater self-confidence. The best part about joining Dance at this\nUniversity for me was the sheer number of people I met and became friends with.\nWithout joining dance, I would not have had the chance to become Social Secretary,\nWellbeing Officer and Vice President. Having these roles has enabled me to\nimprove my confidence off-stage and also to have the opportunity to improve the\nclub which I\u2019m so passionate about. My favourite part about university is being\na part of the Team Christ Church community, it\u2019s just like having a family away\nfrom home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rebecca Broadley<\/strong><br><em>Canterbury Christ Church University Student<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got into dance the same way that many people do &#8211; my mum sent me off to ballet and tap.
