About the club

Oxford University Competition Dance (OUCD) Club are Oxford's leading dance performers in a variety of styles. We train in Ballet, Jazz, Hiphop, Contemporary, Tap, Lyrical and Heels, preparing routines to compete at our annual Varsity Match against Cambridge, and other multi-university competitions. We also produce an annual sell out Showcase, and regularly perform at college balls and events. A highlight of 2022 was performing at the Oxford Polo Ball in the atrium of the Natural History Museum in London, and in 2024, OUCD won best overall university at Loughborough dance competition!

There are many opportunities for members to choreograph routines, and get involved in the dance styles you like. We are a fun and close-knit team, meeting multiple times per week for training and socials.
