Hey Dance Soc! My name is Gemma and I'm a first year Psychology student :)
My first year so far has been an incredible experience - I’ve met so many wonderful people and have had so much fun dancing with you all. However, I am also aware that dance can become time-consuming, tiring, and quite stressful at times, especially when preparing for one of our many shows, competitions, or having to manage multiple jobs while on the committee. Therefore, as Welfare and Volunteering Officer, I plan to prioritise the physical health and mental well-being of every one of our members, making sure Dance Soc can always be an enjoyable and exciting space for you to escape uni work and other life stresses.
I am well qualified for this role, as I was Well-Being Prefect and Dance Captain in my final year of school, which involved having responsibility over the welfare of all students, and especially my dancers. I hope to liaise with our Social Sec to plan welfare socials that allow you to use dance as a therapeutic outlet, and to help you create lasting friendships with other dancers, beyond your weekly rehearsals and classes.
I also have a lot of experience with Volunteering, such as going on a trip abroad to volunteer, which was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I would be delighted to manage 'Dance It!' and to encourage more dancers to get involved and make a positive impact on our community.
I'm always up for a chat (and a hug), so please come and talk to me any time you need <3
