Oxford had a successful day in the face of much stronger competition than earlier in the year, with many other sides back up to full strength. Nevertheless, Oxford took away the A, C, D and E team trophies, as well as winning or placing in a number of opens. First places for Oxford included: | Beginners Waltz | Amar and Camilla | | Beginners Quickstep | Amar and Camilla | | Basic Waltz | Nick and Harriet | | Advanced Foxtrot | Nick and Harriet | | Intermediate Foxtrot | Ian and Cecile | | Basic Jive | Nick and Harriet | | Advanced Rumba | Nick and Harriet | | Ex-Student Jive | Dave and Laura | | Team Waltz | Pete and Hazel | | Team Cha-Cha | Nick and Harriet |
Another across-the-board victory for Oxford, despite more competition from other universities and the presence of Cambridge. OUDT couples did very well throughout the day in the opens and beginners matches, winning several events. The team match was split level, with A, B, C and D teams competing separately. Oxford won all the team matches overall, but there were some tense moments as rival couples stole some places in individual dances. The Oxford University Dancesport Team triumphed at the first competition of the season on Sunday. At the competition, which was hosted by Warwick University, OUDT took first places in the A, B, C, D, E and F team matches. Special mention goes to Daniel Lubrich and Clare Icely for first place in the team waltz, Nick Faull and Harriet Smtih for first place in the Team Cha, Peter Nixey and Hazel Crow for first place in the team quickstep, and to Alex Hobbs and Emmy Spencer for first place in the team jive. The OUDT Beginners also had a very successful day, taking finals places across all four dances.
