Intervarsity
On May 5 th , MDS members made their way to the city to dance it out with Melbourne University and RMIT to compete for the title of the best dancer for Ballroom , Street Latin and Swing . It gave a great chance for students from all three universities to show off the skills they had been working on in classes . Coming in at second , MDS pulled together an impressive effort , coming only 11 points behind Melbourne University despite a smaller numbers of competitors . Congratulations to everyone who competed , and thank you to everyone who came along to support them ! ( Also , a big shout out to the cheering squad that supplied hungry competitors with snacks and applause !)
