Ballroom & Latin

Classes for everyone in Ballroom (Waltz, Quickstep, Tango, Foxtrot and Viennese Waltz) and Latin (Cha Cha, Jive, Rumba, Samba and Paso Doble).

Beginners – Very sociable classes, with basic steps taught at a pace which should be comfortable for everyone.
Beginners Fast-Track (Bronze) - Suitable for people with some previous dance experience, or complete beginners attending regularly. These classes will cover basic steps for social and competitive dancing, and the material you will need if you want to take an IDTA medal in June at Bronze level.
Improvers (Silver) - Suitable for people who have previously attended Beginners or Beginners Fast-Track classes, this class will also cover the steps needed to take a Silver medal.
Intermediate (Gold) - If you're confident with the material from the Bronze/Silver class, then this one is for you. Again this will cover the relevant steps for the IDTA medal, but also essential knowledge for the social or competitive dancer, whether you choose to take an exam or not!
Competition – The most advanced class, which will cover choreography suitable for open events at university dancesport competitions.

NOTE: If you're not sure which class is best for you, feel free to try more than one level!

Salsa

Originating in Cuba, this is the most popular social partner dance in the world. OUDC teaches the basic Cuban style, upon which all of the many salsa styles are built.

Absolute Beginners - for those who have limited or no dance training. We will practice timing, leading and following, and learn the basic Casino step, Mambo step, Rumba step, Enchufla, and Dile Que No.
Fast-track Beginners - for those with some dance training. We will learn the fine points of leading and following, plus several of the common Cuban Style figures.
Improvers - Aimed at last term's beginners. You must already know Enchufla, Dile Que No, Vacilala, and Sombrero BEFORE entering this class.
Advanced - Sequences in this class are long and complicated, and will be built on the figures learned in the beginners' and improvers' classes.
Rueda - is designed for Improvers/Advanced Cuban-style salseros. Others please contact Bea at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it before joining.

Argentine Tango

the dance of love! Learn a range of exciting moves in this passionate South American style.

Hip Hop

A fusion of dance moves and sequences including body conditioning and some basic breakdance routines – also a great way to keep fit!

Social

The highlight of the dancing week! A chance to dance whatever you want with whomever you want. There is no teaching, only music (and sometimes drinks and nibbles!). All abilities welcome, especially beginners. No need to be shy, just go and ask anyone to dance!
