    The 1820 Settlers Monument played host to the Student Nationals for Ballroom and Latin Dancing last Sunday. The event had all the glitz, glamour and anticipation of a Strictly Come Dancing final with skilled spirals danced out on polished wood floors, backed by friendly and energetic chanting from each of the universities’ support squads.

    The 1820 Settlers Monument played host to the Student Nationals for Ballroom and Latin Dancing last Sunday. The event had all the glitz, glamour and anticipation of a Strictly Come Dancing final with skilled spirals danced out on polished wood floors, backed by friendly and energetic chanting from each of the universities’ support squads.


    Seven universities from across the country took part in this year’s nationals and provided stiff competition for all entrants in both social and competitive classes.

    The events   incorporated both traditional ballroom and Latin as well as team and formation presentations by each of the universities.

    The day transitioned from fairy tale elegance of the waltz and foxtrot to deep Latin emotion of the cha-cha and mambo, with a grand finale of Bollywood style formation dances by the teams which left the audience cheering.

    After 13 hours of breathtaking competition, Stellenbosch was able to beat Rhodes for the top spot. The final scoring across the divisions left Stellenbosch first, Rhodes second and UCT third, with NMMU and Tuks University, bringing up the rear in fourth and fifth respectively.
