Lent Term 2010

A night for our Salsa dancers, to allow you to practise your moves with some friendly faces around. We will have Salsa music playing all evening, and some experienced committee members around to help you if you are feeling stuck! We are intending to put these on more frequently if they are well attended, so do come along if it’s the kind of thing you are keen on.

James and Kelly will be giving a Dancesport Modern workshop, suitable for dancers of Dancesport B standard, probably concentrating on technique and competitive presentation in the tango. Further details will be advertised here shortly.

For one night only this term we will be spicing up our usual Friday night general dancing session with a sixties theme! Raid your wardrobes for a ’60s style costume and boogie on down (ballroom and Latin style, of course) to some great hits from the decade. Prizes will be awarded for best costumes.

Cuppers is the intercollegiate Ballroom and Latin dancing competition, and it is your chance to compete in a friendly setting either in the open competitions or for your college team. Alumni are encouraged to come back and compete. Even if you don’t fancy competing, do come along and watch!

Please see our Cuppers mini-site for more information as it becomes available, or email our VP Events at events@cambridgedancers.org to find out more.

Another night for you to practise your Salsa moves! Bring your friends, enjoy the nibbles, and dance the night away.

Instead of holding the usual Lent Term Ball we have decided to splash out and hold an anniversary ball at the Watford Colosseum, London. This venue has an expansive dance floor—so we can accommodate all those extra alumni we expect will make an appearance—and excellent acoustics, which will provide the perfect setting for the legendary Ross Mitchell, His Singers and His Band to perform. You will be greeted with a champagne reception and thematic decor... and we will have some fine foods for you to nibble on during the evening. A spectacular demonstration is lined up from 2007 British Closed Professional Ballroom Champions Jonathan Crossley and Lyn Marriner, who danced together professionally for six years.

Coaches will depart from Queen’s Road (behind Queens’ College) at 6:00pm and 6:30pm. If you would like to travel by coach, please specify which coach you would like to be on. Please note that coach times may need to change if we do not have enough people signed up for one coach.

To book tickets for this event, please email events@cambridgedancers.org. Please specify if you are a student, whether or not you would like coach transport, and if so what coach you would like to be on. Cheques should be made payable to Cambridge Dancers’ Club; tickets will be distributed near the event date.

The dress code is black tie.

We will be holding another tea dance for all those dancers who might have been suffering tea-dance withdrawal symptoms. Expect more tea, more cake, and more Ballroom and Latin Dancing!
