Loyola University Dance Company

LUDC

The Official Dance Company of
Loyola University Maryland

LUDC is the largest student run organization on Loyola’s campus. Our dance company offers an ever-growing variety of dance genres to the Loyola community. The company gives Loyola’s students the chance to choreograph and perform dances of all different styles. We welcome dancers from all different dance backgrounds and dance levels.

We hold auditions in September in order to place each dancer into a group according to their experience/ability. Each dancer can audition for as many styles as they would like. We have levels for dance company: grey, green, and white. This ensures that all dancers feel welcomed and can have the opportunity to perform at a level that is comfortable for them!

Dance Crew is open for anyone at Loyola to join! Dance Crew is a fun opportunity for people of all levels of dance experience, even if you have never danced before! The dance crew choreographs a Hip Hop routine that is performed at our end of semester showcase.
