Bhangra Society: President

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all doing well!

My name is Jaskaran, and I am nominating myself for the position of president. My journey with Bhangra, from performances at weddings to being on stage at Rangeela, has been truly amazing. The more I delve into Bhangra, the more thrilling it becomes. Reflecting on my initial encounter with Bhangra at UCL, I was captivated by the skills of the senior dancers and met many people who are now great friends. I hope to spark the same enthusiasm and welcomeness I first felt at the start to the future members.

As a candidate for president, my vision is to share the joy and excitement I receive from Bhangra with others, creating a society where individuals from diverse backgrounds can freely express themselves through Bhangra regardless of their experience.

My agenda contains a lineup of events, including weekly classes with creative choreography, social gatherings, and collaborations with other universities. I aim to create an environment where the society thrives with organization and teamwork, while ensuring inclusivity for all members and representatives.

With your support, I aspire to push the boundaries and propel UCL Bhangra to new heights, both in the social media realm and within the university. As a final aspiration, I am determined to be a supportive leader to everyone and set an example that people can look up to, while being confident in myself to uphold high standards for the society.

Thank you for considering my nomination!

Hi everyone, 

My name is Aman and I am running to be your president for Bhangra Society!

Bhangra has been both the most fun yet challenging experience at university so far. I cherish every moment with my society and friends at Bhangra whether it be performing, training, taking classes or our socials and I want more people to be able to experience how wonderful Bhangra is here at UCL.

That brings me to what I want to do as president, namely make UCL Bhangra more inclusive and use my platform to uplift and empower others to be proud of and engage in traditional Punjabi culture. Some of the steps I want to take include:

• More regular classes that empower our members to learn and teach Bhangra
• Engagement with our marketing team to grow our online presence on social media 
• More inter-society collabs
•  Increase engagement in classes through feedback forums 
• Beginner specific classes to increase inclusivity
• Regular socials e.g games and movie nights, dinners, bowling etc

I know I have the right qualities to be able to lead UCL Bhangra strongly into the new year because I don’t shy away from responsibility and I am proud to showcase the culture, talent and community we have within our society. As someone who is proactive and approachable, I know I can work with our new committee to make our community even bigger and welcome everyone.

If you are also excited for what UCL Bhangra has to offer and you share my commitment to make us grow, vote for me as your next President!
