Our Dance Club

Our Rock ‘n’ Roll Dance Team and classes are part of a larger dance organisation based in Cambridge called the Cambridge Dancers’ Club.

This organisation was started in the 1950s by a small group of Cambridge University Students. Since this time the organisation has grown in size and now boasts over 2000 new members each year (2400 in the academic year 2004-2005). At the end of each academic year, the membership database is blanked and anyone wishing to participate in CDC-organised dance classes must renew their membership.

The CDC is run by a committee of around 40 people, of which over half are university students and the remainder come from Cambridge and the surrounding area. This reflects the membership of the club. Committee posts are voluntary and unpaid.

The CDC is a non-profit organisation. Due to its large student membership and mainly student-run committee, the CDC is a registered Cambridge University society.

The CDC also runs classes in several other dance styles, including salsa, ballroom (includes tango), latin (includes jive) and offbeat (cowboy routines, chicken run etc.).
