Election post
Since joining this year, I have found a warm and welcoming community in Dance Society, which has become an integral part of my UCL life. By running for Liaison Officer, I hope to recreate this experience for other members to help them feel like a part of this family.
I strongly believe that classes are a crucial part of Dance Society, both as a main entry point for newcomers into dance and a space for seasoned dancers to hone their skills. As a regular attendee of the weekly classes, the support from friends I have made through class is what makes me feel safe to make mistakes in my learning. I hope to continue this culture of supportiveness, especially for new dancers who are forming their first impressions of the dance community through these classes.
I also believe that the teacher-student relationship can make or break the class experience. As Liaison Officer, I hope to streamline communication of feedback between both parties to maximise learning for students while providing an ideal teaching environment for instructors. Additionally, I hope to utilise workshop opportunities to allow dancers to explore niche styles less accessible outside of UCL.
The people, space and opportunities that Dance Society has provided me have left a great impact on me both as a dancer and a person. By running for this role, I hope to give back to the society what it has given me in my short time here, and be part of the team at the forefront of shaping this society for members current and new.
