Leeds University UnionTreasurer (2016/17) of LUU Modern Dance Society
Sep. 2016 - Jun. 2017Leeds, United KingdomI was a member of the award-winning Leeds Univeristy Union Modern Dance Society for four years, and was grateful to be elected as Treasurer in my final year. Specialising in tap, contemporary, and jazz, Modern Dance is still the largest dance society at the University of Leeds. Dancers are trained to an advanced level with professional outside teachers, and travel to national university competitions around the country. My role as Treasurer was varied, and allowed me to take on much more than the financial aspects of the society. Working alongside companies both internal and external to the univeristy, I contributed to the management of merchandise and organisational aspects of our inter-university competitions. I additionally took part in committee-wide duties such as PR and correspondence with dance teachers, where I greatly enjoyed the comradery of working in a team with shared passions. Dance greatly enhanced my time at university, and to work so closely with the society in my final year truly made my experience all the more memorable.
