Argentine Tango Society: President

Hi! With a restless curiosity I have tasted various societies and clubs over the years, and now I find myself so lucky to be with a bunch of tango people. Not only am I getting what I expected here – basic tango skills, of course, but also an intimate, relaxing, and free from pressure atmosphere. So I wish to stay next year and do my share to keep the ambience going on.

Previously having spent one year as Secretary in a departmental students’ union, I am organised and good at coordinating, and I will do my best to make sure that society events are arranged smoothly. As a President I may lack experience in making strategies and blueprints, but please allow me to start with practical steps. Classes is a must – so please stay – and I am organising extra socials as well, possibly sharing films and novels which feature Argentine tango and culture. Your opinions will matter, and, whichever period in a year, my bright smile will always be around.

Thank you all.

Tango society has been a central part of my student life so far. Joining the society as a fresher in October last year, I truly grew to love the dance and the community and would love to see it develop and grow.

Therefore, as president, I would work hard to keep the classes running smoothly, organise more social events, and work on expanding the society. In particular, I would love to organise more student tango events. For example, tango society socials, outings, student practicas etc. These would be great ways for the society members to bond and grow more confident with their dancing.

Tango is a beautiful dance yet is still not too popular amongst young people. Our UCL tango society offers the perfect opportunity to bring tango into the lives of young people. Therefore, I would love to work on maintaining a friendly and welcoming atmosphere in our society, especially for beginners.

My main goal as president will be to keep this welcoming and friendly spirit in the society so that we can expand and make the most of tango at UCL. I care about the society a lot and would love to see it continue down a bright path.
