The Yellow Journal is UVA's oldest/secretest/premier satire publication. Since its inception in 1912 A.D., the Yellow Journal's name has struck fear into the hearts of hapless administrators, humorless students, and anyone else unfortunate enough to draw the ire of our wicked pen.We publish new issues—jam-packed with fighting words and depraved witticisms—at the end of each semester.

Founded in 1998, University Dance Club is the largest student-run dance group at UVA. We hold auditions at the beginning of each semester for a completely student choreographed end-of-semester showcase featuring contemporary, lyrical, jazz, ballet, hip hop, tap, and more! Although this organization has members who are University of Virginia students and may have, University employees associated or engaged in its activities and affairs, the organization is not a part of or an agency. It is a separate and independent organization, which is responsible for and manages its own activities and affairs. The University does not direct, supervise or control the organization and is not responsible for the organization’s contracts, acts or omissions. UDC does not restrict its membership, programs, or activities on the basis of age, color, disability, gender identity, marital status, national or ethnic origin, political affiliation, race, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, veteran status, and family and genetic information. 

We serve as a way for students to meet other musicians, producers, and artists and foster a community for collaboration. URecords also organizes concerts, house shows, audio engineering workshops, producer office hours, and jam sessions. We have our own equipment and space to use for practicing, recording, or simply having fun! If you feel as though not enough opportunities for musicians exist on grounds and you want to play a role in creating them, then we are the club for you!

The Virginia Belles are the University of Virginia’s oldest, and most established, all-female identifying acapella group. Simply put, we are a group of women passionate about creating music with each other. The Belles were established in 1977 by Katherine Mitchell, who noticed the stark lack of female representation in the UVA arts scene and set out to change precedent. Entertaining audiences around Grounds and the greater Charlottesville community for almost 5 decades now, the Belles perform a diverse repertoire of pop, oldies, R&B, folk, and traditional songs.

The Virginia Dance Company is a student-run organization that allows incoming dancers to maintain and expand their dancing skills.

The company is now home to over 50 talented members. Auditions are held one week after the semester begins in both the fall and the spring. Once you are a member of the company you stay a member for the rest of your time at the University!
