Over the summer of 2020, UBallet has also offered Zoom classes multiple days a week, with plans to continue for the future. The company typically performs two full-length ballets each academic year at Mandel Hall, previous shows including La Esmeralda and the Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Sleeping Beauty. Here, one feels free to embrace the beauty of pantomimes-the embodiment of silent imagery speaking louder than words-or finally fulfill a dream of completing the perfect pirouette.

Welcoming students from all over UChicago, UBallet offers free classes every week for the curious-at-heart, the long-time masters, and everyone in between. The University Ballet (UBallet) is an obvious choice for the lover of the classical aesthetic. While we realize this list is not exhaustive, we hope that it encourages you to take a step outside your comfort zone! From people with two left feet to the next S Rank recruit, from ballet to hip-hop, swing dance to K-pop, the College’s RSOs provide opportunities to all. Luckily, UChicago brims with the performing arts, and the diverse styles of dance prove no exception. However, now that Fall Quarter is on the horizon, you may be feeling it’s time to stretch your legs out again and get the blood circulating back into those unused muscles.

Perhaps this year, rather than huddling in the Reg, you spent your spring quarter huddled in bed, snoozing through your Zoom lecture about Nutritional Science.
