Election post
Other than performing and competing, one of my favorite parts of DanceSoc has been the socials. When I first joined, I quickly felt welcomed and met so many people, building lots of close friendships. Socials played a huge role in that, allowing everyone to have fun and create long-lasting memories. I’d love to be the person creating these experiences for next year’s members, so they’d feel as welcome as I did.
Having been involved in committee duties as a Freshers Rep, I’ll step into this role well-prepared as I’ve gained valuable experience in communication, teamwork and event-planning. Co-producing a show involved handling key logistics and working with committee members. These skills will translate well to the role, where I’ll need to coordinate with venues, society members, and manage multiple responsibilities. Being on the Socials Prod Team gave me insight into how events are planned. Since Freshers Week, I’ve attended every social (literally lol), allowing me to see what works, what could be improved, and how to make events fun and inclusive for all. I’d like to think I’m attentive, friendly and approachable, which will help create a welcoming environment!
I love the current post-show socials tradition, and would like to introduce more drinking + non-drinking socials outside of this (eg. sip&paint, themed pub crawl, Just Dance night). I want to build on what already makes DanceSoc great, making sure every social is well-planned and enjoyable for all <3
Stay hydrated ;)
