London bomb survivor Bruce Lait has been appointed Cambridge University's first permanent ballroom dancing coach.
The award-winning dancer has been asked to spend three days a week training Cambridge University's teams in an effort to snatch the inter-varsity title from Oxford. Oxford has won the match for the past six years.
Mr Lait, who lives in Suffolk, said the image of ballroom dancing had been transformed by the TV show Strictly Come Dancing.
A record 2,000 students joined the society for ballroom and Latin dancing last year.
Mr Lait, who was on the Circle Line between Liverpool Street and Aldgate in July when a bomb killed seven people, said: "Six weeks ago, I thought I would never be dancing again."
