Launched in December 2007 with only 4 classes available and less than 20 members, Aberdeen University Dance Society (AUDS) has experienced exponential growth over the past 18 years and now offers more than 20 classes per week with the help of over 25 tutors and captains.
Everyone is welcome to the classes, and we aim to introduce dancing to beginners in an easy and fun way as well as to improve the skill and technique of the more experienced students. AUDS offers a wide range of classes including Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop, Tap, Contemporary, Bachata, Highland and many more.
We also invite members to take part in various performances and competitions that are organised regularly throughout the year. Each academic year is ended with a massive end of the year showcase where the tutors and students get a chance to show off their skills and amazing routines.
AUDS has an audition-based competition team, where we travel to different universities around the UK to compete. Last year we had a very succesful year- bringing home a whopping 34 trophies, inlcuding 12 1st place trophies and 8 special awards (Best overall uni, Best Adv dancer, Best choreo ect).
AUDS has one of the largest communities of active members at the university, making it a great place to hang out, learn, develop, make new friends and most importantly, enjoy the art of dance!
