Online Dance Quiz (June 2020)

On Sunday 28th June, members of the CUDS committee were joined by CUTAZZ, Pole Society, Strathspey and Reel club (Scottish country dancing), and Irish dance in a quiz featuring dance-themed rounds submitted by each society. One of the loveliest things about the dance community is how friendly and accepting everyone is and conversation immediately began as we learnt about each other’s societies and dance styles. Once the quiz began, it became clear that we a lot of us had very little dance knowledge beyond our own styles, there was definitely a lot of guesswork involved, but this led to plenty of discussion and learning! The rounds were creatively put together by each society, with rounds involving naming pole dancing moves and selecting which of a list of phrases were actually names of Scottish country dance patterns – twenty-first of September, anyone? The event was a brilliant way to meet and get to know new people! In these challenging times, it is more important than ever to find ways to come together and CUDS hopes to continue forming these bonds either virtually or in person.
