TRUSU Social Dance Club is a student club registered through the Thompson Rivers University Student Union. Its goal is to bring more dancing to the TRU campus while proving spaces and lessons that foster community and education. TRUSU Swing operates during the Fall and Winter semesters with the help of volunteers who donate their time.
TRUSU Social Dance Club started its life as TRUSU Swing Dance Club. Registered in 2016, the club was originally started by a small group of passionate students to share their love for swing dancing.
We hope that we can continue to foster the passion for dance that started the club with the help of TRUSU, our lovely volunteers, and community members!
Vision
Our vision is to create welcoming and kind spaces where all are invited to come and experience swing dancing, regardless of age, rage, gender, sexuality, or other differences!
Mission
Our mission is to provide accessible dance education and events with the lowest possible barriers to entry.
Core Beliefs
