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 Blues Squad is made up of 24 very dedicated couples, selected from the 1500-
strong parent club. The University awards ‘Blues’ status to an elite group of sports that achieves a
significantly higher level of achievement relative to the national average. Dancers commit to hours of practice each day, finding the
time around study out of a love of the sport.
The team is regularly hired for corporate entertainment. We can perform spectacular demonstrations of all the dances that appear on 'Strictly Come Dancing.' The team has previously been
invited to perform at London Fashion Week, Royal Academy of Art exhibitions
and the Wings of Hope Charity Ball. We have even been asked to perform as far
afield as Dubai or Bombay. Click here for more information.

Check out the new photo gallery we have just put online. If you have any pictures from any of the competitions you would like to be posted please contact Alex. It's very hard to find good quality pictures, so if you have any nice ones (clear and focused), it would be great if you could send us them.
