This is the third year of Swansea Come Dancing, my main aims this year is to carry on creating an established fun and vibrant term 1 event. The event brings together students’ communities from sports and societies offering a unique platform to collaborate, support other teams and showcase their spirit.
Planned Actions:
- Create an inclusive, energetic atmosphere for all students and dancers ensuring every participant feels supported, confident and valued throughout the experience
- Strengthen collaboration between societies and sports teams
- Focus on strong event production and social media promotion, including launching the dance couples through engaging posts, videos and teasers to build exciting and attract student attention.
- Ensuring accessibility and inclusivity, including clear information about participation requirements, accessible venue and support for students who may be new to performing
- Continue to collaborate with all SU events and media team to deliver a professional-standard show, including lighting, tech, staging, photography and videography
- Celebrate all participants after the event, through certificates, social media recognition and trophies
Measures of Success:
- High participation rate, with representation from a wide range of sports teams and societies
- Strong audience turnout, aiming for a sold-out or near-capacity venue
- High online engagement, measured through social media likes, shares, comments, video views and interaction with promotional posts.
