Ballroom and Latin
At UEA's Ballroom and Latin Dance Club I am proud to have been elected Social Secretary, Team Captain and Vice President. I am the current President of the club until I graduate this year.
I hadn't danced ballroom and latin before joining the sports club in my first term at UEA, however, I wanted to try something new and this decision has shaped my university and personal experience in an incredibly positive way. I find it very rewarding and enjoy teaching students of all ages hosting weekly lessons at university and visiting schools where the students are younger.
I have been competing across the UK for four years.
Recent achievements of note:
- 5th place Acrobatic Rock n' Roll at IVDC Nationals in Blackpool.
