Cheerleading
A sport like no other, cheerleading offers a unique challenge, with teams working together to stunt and tumble. MONCAD has multiple teams for beginners through advanced.
Dance
MONCAD currently offers Pom, Hip Hop, Jazz and Lyrical teams. These styles range from sharp hitting motions, to fluid, dynamic movements, providing options for all kinds of dancers.
Why join MONCAD?
Teams for all levels
We have teams for all levels of experience, from complete beginners through to those competing at an international level (and everyone in between!).
Our 12 teams cover Cheer, Pom, Jazz, Lyrical and Hip Hop. No matter your level, you will be guided by our expert coaches to improve your skills and put an amazing routine on the competition floor with your team.
Friends for life
You will not only see your teammates at training sessions throughout the week, but you'll also have the chance to make friends from across the club at our social events. Our favourite events include our annual camp and annual ball, with lots of other events also held throughout the year.
Exciting competitions
All of our teams compete at competitions against other university teams throughout the year. It's a fantastic chance to show off the routines you've been working hard on in front of an expert judging panel and a dynamic crowd!
