Cambridge University Oriental Dance Association (CUODA) was founded in April 2013, by a group of Chinese students. Our mission is to provide a platform for fellow passionate dancers in the region, promote the fusion and re-creation of the myriad oriental dance genres. and stage for various celebrations, charitable or commercial events in Cambridgeshire or nearby cities.
It is our honour to have invited Ms Meng Yuan to be our dance coach. Graduated from Beijing Dance Academy in China and the Royal Dance Academy in London, Meng is now a very proficient and reputable dancer and coach in the region, through ten years of bi-lingual teaching in both Cambridge and the Royal Dance Academy. In addition, her experience in promoting oriental culture in the UK would also be an invaluable asset to our society, in our course of self-development and culture promotion.
As a young society, we sincerely welcome everyone who is interested in dancing to join our society. No matter which country you are from, which dance style you prefer--classic, modern, traditional, contemporary, hip-hop, etc., or whether you have ever danced before, you will always find your niche in CUODA. In here, we hope we could all be bounded by our common passion in dancing, build on each other's strengths, spark new creativity through our communication, and most importantly, enjoy every minute of us dancing together!
CU-Oriental Dance Association（CUODA）是由一群热爱舞蹈的中国学生于2013年4月成立的东方舞蹈社团。我们致力于为广大剑桥地区的舞者们提供一个交流平台，推动各种东方舞蹈艺术形式的交融与创新，并为各大剑桥内部以及附近地区的春晚、以及各种公益或非公益的活动提供优质的舞蹈作品。
为了让大家的舞蹈水平日益精进，也为了追求我们的舞蹈节目的品质，我们非常荣幸地邀请到了袁梦女士来担任我们的舞蹈老师。袁老师毕业于中国北京师范大学和英国皇家舞蹈学院，在经过长期在剑桥以及皇家舞蹈学院的教学实践后，逐渐形成了一套适用于各国学生的双语教学方法。更重要的是，她多年来为传播东方传统文化事业所做的努力，也成为了我们社团在英国发展东方舞蹈文化的过程中的一笔弥足珍贵的财富。
作为一个成立初期的社团，我们竭诚欢迎各位志同道合的朋友们加入到我们的队伍中来！无论您是否有舞蹈基础，无论您来自什么国家，无论您喜欢的是传统古典或是现代芭蕾，是韩国嘻哈或是各国民族风，我们都期待着您的到来。希望在这里，大家可以发挥所长，以舞会友，在尽情挥洒汗水的途中，碰撞出新的灵感火花，获得意想不到的美的享受！
