Cambridge win Varsity Rock’n'Roll

After an absence from last year’s Varsity DanceSport match held in Oxford, the CURnR team made sure Rock’n'Roll featured in this year’s Varsity match. While Oxford did enter a competent couple for the first time in a long while, Cambridge couples Claude & Emily took first place, with Barny & Jenny in 2nd place. Full results can be found on our competitions page.

Oxford are trying to set up a Rock’n'Roll team (initiated by two ex-CURnR team members), so hopefully next year’s Varsity match will be a closer competition between the universities!

Cuppers Results

As well as competing against other universities, almost all sports in Cambridge have an intra-university competition, called Cuppers. For the Rock’n'Roll team, this is an opportunity for team members to be judged by proper Continental Rock’n'Roll judges (as opposed to the ballroom judges at Varsity-circuit competitions). We’re grateful to this year’s 4 judges: long-standing CURnR coaches Guido & Cristina, new team coach Stefan Turok, and ex-CURnR captain Maurice Ringer.

Cambridge Dominate the National Finals

The Cambridge University Rock’n'Roll Team fielded 6 couples at the Inter Varsity DanceSport Competition, the national finals, where over 60 couples competed in 5 rounds. In typical Cambridge fashion, we placed all 6 couples in the top 7 places. Full results can be found on our competitions page.

Congratulations to Claude & Emily, Adrian & Chrissie, Barny & Jenny, Sam & Natasha, Alex & Alex, and Mark & Zara.
