The Oxford University Dancesport Team (OUDT) is one of the most successful sporting teams in the University. Members compete at a minimum of six major UK competitions each year. We have been Intercontinental Champions for the last ten years, British University National Champions 2000-2005 (runners up 2006, 2007) and Varsity Champions against Cambridge for seven of the last eight years. In fact, OUDT has been placed either first or second in the British University National Championships for the past twenty years.

Our team is made up of 150 very dedicated members, selected from the 1500- strong parent club. Dancers commit to hours of practice each day, finding the time around study out of a love of the sport.

Forty-eight team members form the Blues Squad, comprised of experienced dancers, while the rest belong to the Beginners' Team. The University awards ‘Blues’ status to an elite group of sports that achieves a significantly higher level of achievement relative to the national average.
