Medal Tests 2012 Beginners

Stefano and Lauren prepare for their Waltz

Our Beginners did so brilliantly in the recent Medal Tests, where the danced the Waltz, Rhythm Foxtrot, Cha Cha, Jive and Boogie! They all received glowing comments from the very impressed adjudicators and walked away with a brightly-coloured polka dot certificate!


Having been a part of UCT Ballroom and Latin Dancing Society for only a few months, our Beginners showed just what they were made of when they were brave enough to step onto the floor of Jammie Hall to show off their newly-learnt skills in front of their friends, family and adjudicators - eek!

Eden and Joshua do a New Yorker
After hours of classes, extra Sunday practises and a Polka Dot-themed social the night before to calm those pre-Medal Test jitters, they were ready! They proved that a bit of practise, a lot of love and a tremendous amount of fun can turn a test into a pleasant experience, and, they've proved that they are more than ready for this year's National Student Ballroom and Latin Dance Championships (aka Intervarsity)!

To all of our Beginners who were brave enough to do their Medal Tests, a huge well done! You all have fantastic potential and we are sure that you will do brilliantly at Intervarsity. Go UCT!











If you haven't signed up for Intervarsity yet, tomorrow is your last chance!

  1. One of the biggest lies that I think many of us believe is that there is such thing as a natural. We will all have things that we are naturally better at due to genetics. Some of us are taller, some lighter and some of us more muscular. However, there are very few tasks, if any, that do not require a lot of effort.
