Street Latin Social — Carnivale

Our first MUDC social for the year is coming up Friday March 12th. Socials are a good way to learn dances you can’t fit into your university timetable and bring along friends from outside Melbourne University. Classes are suitable for beginners and by the end of the night you should the basics of some styles of St. Latin dancing. More experienced dancers are always keen to help you out.

(more details to come soon)
Theme: Carnivale — be colourful!
Time: 6:30pm – 9:30pm.
Cost: $7 for members and non-members alike.
Location: Grand Buffet Hall, Union House, University of Melbourne.

MUDC O-week stall

Welcome to those new to University of Melbourne. For the clubs and societies day of O-Week why not come on down to the MUDC stall and learn what our club is all about. Since we are associated with the sports association our stall is with other sports clubs on North Court.

So to see us come to North Court next to Union House. (the North side of Union house that is.)
12:00pm-4:00pm Thursday 25th February.

MUDC has a strong focus on partnered* dancing, especially in a social context. We encourage members to be involved in dance socially via our socials, dance camp and Dinner Dance. We also give our members an opportunity to earn medals for their dancing (similar to doing grades on musical instruments) as well as support those who wish to compete.

The styles taught within the club include Street Latin, Bachata, Latin, Ballroom (also known as Modern), New Vogue, Swing and Go-Go. Most of these styles have sub-styles, as listed on our About: Dance Styles page.

Our Go-Go class this semester is an exception to the rule.

If you are interested in dance at Melbourne Uni you may also be interested in checking out Flare Dance Ensemble.

We had the rooms wrong for the morning classes. The corrected table is on the timetable page.

Hello Happy Dancers!

Melbourne University Dancesport Club is pleased to introduce two BRAND NEW
dance classes to our timetable this semester!

**Dance of the Semester: Go-Go dancing class** 1-2pm Mondays, Black Hole Room

“Go-Go dancing was popular during the 1960’s and 70’s and in this class
you’ll learn classic retro dance moves including the Twist, the Hustle,
the Monkey, Funky Disco, Saturday Night Fever and the Bus Stop. Go-Go is
fun and energetic and these classes will provide you with heaps of new
moves to impress your friends on the dance floor! The Go-Go class is free
for the first week of semester, so bring your friends and come give it a
go-go!”

**Social Class** 12-1pm Fridays, Des Connor Room

“This class combines Latin, Street Latin, Ballroom and New Vogue into one
class and focuses on teaching moves you can use on the social dance floor.
No previous dance experience is necessary. Dances may include Waltz, Cha
Cha Cha, Salsa, Jive, Merrilyn, Quickstep and others. The Social Class is
free for the first week of semester, so bring your friends and come try it
