What is Ballroom Dancing

UCT Ballroom is a social dancing society, offering lessons, dance socials and other events to the UCT community. We believe that anyone can learn to dance – even if you think you have two left feet, our beginner class will guide you through the basics and help you find your rhythm! Lessons range from beginner level to pre-bronze and beyond, so there are plenty of options, whether or not you've danced before. You don't need a partner to join: we swap partners often, which means you'll get to meet, and learn to dance with, a variety of people – a useful social skill.

Regular classes cover both ballroom and latin dances, such as the waltz, cha-cha and jive. In the extra session we learn salsa, Viennese waltz, Argentine tango and more. In addition to lessons, members get regular opportunities to dance in a fun, relaxed environment at our fortnightly socials. These are a great place to try out your skills and get to know other members. During the year we also participate in a friendly Intervarsity competition with universities from around the country, and in the fourth term we host a spectacular formal dance. Stepping out onto the floor in a ballroom where everyone knows how to waltz, foxtrot and quickstep is an experience not to be missed!

Classes are held in Molly Blackburn Hall (in front of Frigo café) on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 pm.

See you on the dance floor!
