Socials
Come to our social nights on a fortnightly basis during the semester. These
nights include a dance lesson with plenty of time to dance socially and
supper. During the theme nights, we will have professional instructors
running the lesson. You will find us boogie-ing away in the
Campus Centre, Building 10, Clayton Campus.
Time: 7.30pm-10.30pm
Cost: $3 for members, $5 for non members
Refreshments: Supper and drinks.
Melbourne Uni also hold social dance nights on alternate fortnights
to MDS Socials. You will need to turn up at Frank Tate Gym or the Grand
Buffet for more dancing! Click
here for more details.
Dance camp
Each year during Easter time, MDS runs a weekend camp for Monash Uni’s
fun-loving danced-crazed people. The camp is organised jointly with Melbourne
University Dance Club and is held at recreation centres outside the city. We
aim to facilitate a fun and social evironment for dance lovers to get to know
each other and develop friendships through the common interest of dancing.
The itinerary for the camp includes daytime dance classes led by the
fantastic instructors of either clubs, informal lessons in progressive dances
at night (usually taught by club committee members) and loads of
opportunities over the weekend to dance socially and get to know fellow dance
enthusiasts. For those who are hyper, extra curricular activities such as
canoeing, bike riding, swimming, orientation courses (eg: ropes course, flying
fox) and indoor games (eg: table tennis, pool, board games) are available for
the challenge as the recreation centre permits.
Medal night
Come on and strut your stuff! Medal Night is held in September each year
on a Friday night at Monash
University. This is
when you can showcase the dance routines you've been learning throughout the
year. Whilst participation in Medal Night is optional, we would encourage you
to come round and make a clean sweep of your medals with your moves on the
dance floor. Besides, this is so much more exciting when compared to the more
stressful classroom-type examinations! It’ll be a night to remember for
sure.
Competitions
MDS sponsors club members to join in dance competitions during the
year. These include the Crown International, the DMA competition (August),
FATD (August) and Waverley Dance Festival (November). There are events
for all dance sport styles as well as theatrical jazz and hip hop. MDS
usually enters couples as well as a team event for the progressive latin
and new vogue. Join our mailing list to keep up to date with competition
news!

Dinner dance 2008 - TBA!
MDS and our Melbourne Uni counterpart (MUDC) join hands to organise the one
gala event every year: the Annual Dance Sport Ball. The get-together
is scheduled a week after Medal Night - when the latest moves are still
fresh in the minds of those attending. This should then see to a successful
evening out-on-the-town! The Annual Dance Sport Ball is essentially
planned around a central theme, with a consistent design element applied
to decor and dress. Complemented by a 3-course meal, and professional
and club floorshows to boot, this is an event you just cannot miss!
There will be all-night dancing made even more merry with medallists
receiving their hard earned medal awards! Salute!
Place : Sanremo Ballroom
Date : 26th September
Time : 7.30pm - 12.30pm
Important Information:
