Events 2014-15
Itchy Feet 2015
Our last and final event of the last academic year was something a little bit different to the ballroom flavour the society has experienced so far. Hosted at the Glasgow School of Art, this event brought out the swing dancers in our members! With amazing music by performing band The Shiverin’ Shakes GUBLDS hit the floor. Spinning, jiving and swinging until late into the night it was definitely the right way to end the year and leave everyone excited enough to last the summer!

Spring Ball 2015
Carrying on our biannual tradition, March this year saw our last but by no means final ball. With the tables adorned with daffodils and red glitter, spring was in the air as the society danced away the winter blues and had one last wild night before exams. This ball was extra special as it featured not one, not two but three demonstrations! Our competitors took the floor for an impressive rumba that some I’m sure would say was intoxicating (no pun intended) as the first notes of a slower “Toxic” flooded the ballroom of GUU. One of our more experienced members blew us away with a beautifully graceful waltz and if that wasn’t enough, we were dazzled as our professional teacher showed us what real dancing is all about in a wonderful performance with her partner. One of the biggest balls so far, it was not to be missed. |
Latin night at "El Barrio"
Friday the 6th February – time for yet another GUBLDS social! We celebrated the successful GUBLDS participation in the Birmingham competition and the arrival of our first GUBLDS hoodies and T-shirts with a visit to the club "El Barrio" for a night of Latin dancing! Here, everyone got the chance to get to know each other better and put their newly learned dancing skills to good use.

GUBDS Sub Crawl
As we welcomed 2015, GUBLDS was about to get a whole lot bigger and a whole lot louder. As well as many great taster sessions and workshops, the society hosted its first ever sub crawl in March! With a different bar at every stop things were sure to get interesting. Some daring dancers even went so far as to quickstep their way down Buchannan Street in search of some drinks to fuel their boogie shoes! |
Winter Ball 2014 (Masquerade theme)
Here at GUBLDS we are all about making dancing dreams come true. So when one of our own board members last year asked for a masquerade ball, you can bet your butt we made it happen! Even better than the spring 2014 ball, the winter masquerade ball was just as gorgeous and dramatic as you’d imagine it was. With all those masks covering everyone up, there was no choice but to mix it up and dance with anyone! There was laughter, new friends and a great social buzz. Oh and not forgetting the bar of course! Hosted once again in the trusty GUU it was a great night.

Halloween 2014
GUBLDS hosted its first Halloween social- and we weren’t disappointed! Many members turned up in fancy dress to cackle the night away at Munro’s with some free pizza and nachos! The best costume even won a prize. It truly was a ghoulish night!
