what was kwave like? I’m an exchange student coming from london and love my uni’s kpopsoc, i saw that for kwave u have to pay to join classes and can you only do group dance covers if you pass the audition for their dance team?

[@mikaylatam]

hey! so k-wave is divided into two teams: exec team, which plans events, runs the social media, etc. and dance team, who film dance covers, teach dance classes, and do performances both at k-wave and non-kwave events. i think as of right now the dance team only does group covers, but they've done some solo covers in the past too (ex. chungha). you do have to pay to join the classes but if you're a member of either the dance team or the exec team, it's free!
