📣🥳 Exciting News from OUDC! 🕺💃 Our ca

📣🥳 Exciting News from OUDC! 🕺💃

Our calendar is packed with fantastic events over the next few weeks, and we can't wait to share the dance floor with you all! Here's what's coming up:

1️⃣ Oxford University Freshers Fair:
Freshers or not, everyone is welcome to visit our stall! Come meet our incredible dancers, ask all your burning questions, and get a taste of what OUDC is all about. We cannot wait to meet you all! 🤩

2️⃣ FREE Taster Classes:
These are an incredible opportunity to try our dancing and be taught by world-class coaches 💃🕺🏻No need to book; just show up on the day! You need no dance prior dance experience to come along and have fun. Of course bring all the friends you want, but many people choose to come alone so we can just sort out partners and swap around on the night ☺️

3️⃣ Team Trials:
Our main team trials, for people with previous ballroom and Latin experience, is taking place on Sunday 15th October at our dance studio - Kirby House, Headington. No preparation needed just come along on the day. If for some reason you can’t make it, give our president a message (link in bio) and we’ll try and sort something out 😊

Then we have the beginners team trials. They are taking place on Tuesday 17th October at the Catholic Chaplaincy, and we will post information and videos on how to find it closer to the time! Although a Google map search does the trick 😉

I was actually on the beginners team this year and let me just say - it was was the best decision I’ve ever made it. For this team you need *absolutely* no prior dance experience, and I’d say it’s usually a split between people who have never danced before, and others who have done different styles in the past but are wanting to try something new! It’s perfect for people who want to be part of a university team, but also surrounded by a warm, relaxing and amazing bunch of people! Trials are really chill, and genuinely if you’re thinking about it, just give it a go! You won’t regret it, honestly.

Please let us know if you have any questions! Our Dms and emails are always open 🥰☺️

It’s now time to put the spotlight on our incred

It’s now time to put the spotlight on our incredible leaders for the 2022-2023 dance season ✨

First of all, we want to say a massive thank you to Immi who is true blessing for our club. She organises our wardrobe, does our hair beautifully, and gets our dancers looking spectacular for competitions. She has also spent countless hours photographing, organising and sharing our amazing photos that you can see all across our social media platforms👗📸

Next, we extend our gratitude to Julia - the captain of our beginners' team. On top of attending her own main team lessons, she graciously took time out of her schedule to drop by the beginner classes and help them get the hang of things. During competitions, Julia continued to look out for the newcomers, making sure they felt confident and knew where they were supposed to be! She is such a friendly face and our beginners are extremely grateful🥰

And of course, the biggest shoutout goes to our president and vice president, Kat and Eleanor, who’ve made the year a success. They've dedicated innumerable hours to running the committee, getting us to competitions, organising coaching, managing timetables, liaising with the university and maintaining our social media presence. The list goes on! Their behind-the-scenes efforts do not go unnoticed and we owe them a massive thank you for their passion and commitment to OUDC! We love you guys and we wish you all the best❤️‍🔥

Although not featured in this picture, we also want to say thank you to the other vital members of the committee - Niki, who has done a wonderful job as the treasurer, and James, who continues to support the club as Secretary 🧮🖊️

We’re so lucky!

WELCOME, TO OUR FUTURE OUDC FRESHERS!!!

A HUGE congratulations to students for getting their A-level Results!!! 🏆🥳😁 Exams are such a tough time so you should be so proud of yourselves for getting though them 💪🏽❤️‍🔥

We cannot wait to finally meet you all at Freshers fair at the start of Michaelmas term! 💃

If you’re thinking of joining us in the next academic year, why not give us a DM and say hi 👋 We look forward to hearing from you and we’re happy to answer any questions you may have!🥰

Some behind-the-scene snaps of our wonderful beginners team! 🎬🤩It’s hard to believe that these guys only started Ballroom and Latin for the first time in October, and they are now such an integral part of our dance family! They’ve worked so hard, and competed in competitions all around the country - we couldn’t be prouder of them 🥰

Our beginners team is a great way to get involved in Dancesport, and as you can see, lots of fun! *Absolutely* no dance experience is needed to join, and you can still get dressed up in amazing outfits and compete alongside our main team! We will be recruiting for our next set of beginners in October, so keep your eyes peeled for more information about taster classes and trials 👀 But if you’re just too excited to wait - we have weekly ballroom classes in Headington every Sunday!

Please do get in touch on our Instagram or Facebook if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you☺️
