Committee

Chairperson 

Chloe Kilner 

Years in SUDS: 4 

Degree: Law

I am soo excited to start this year as Chairperson, I love this society and it is honestly my 2nd family. I have gained so much knowledge and experience about this society, being choreographer last year. I felt that I need to move up to the next level. I have crazy organisational skills and know that myself and my amazing committee will be able to make this society extremely successful, more so than it already is as I feel we have done a great job over the past few years. I have been dancing on and off for around 10 years, I have never been classically trained and I am 100% self-taught. This society is for everyone no matter their abilities or experience. I have proved this as becoming chairperson and choreographer previously YOU CAN LEARN SO MUCH WITH US! We aim to create a positive , friendly and fun enviroment. Everyone who has joined has stated that they have made friends for life. I adore this society and I never want to leave.

Dance & therefore, SUDS, is my happy place! It’s where I feel most at home and at my best! I’ve danced since being little and i will continue to do so forever!!! The friends you make at dance are THE best and I wouldn’t know where I would be without them! 

 

Choreographer

Degree: Film Production

So I joined SUDS a couple weeks after it began in my first year. I was struggling to get settled so wanted something to do, something to look forward to in the week. I'd never done dance before (apart from watching Strictly of course) but everyone was so welcoming and encouraging that I felt right at home straight away and now I'm some how one of the choreographers this year! Going to SUDs and dancing every week pretty much kept me sane during the rocky first few months that I had. We've become like one big family and I couldn't recommend joining more, just do it! I love it and have made friends for life.

SUDS is the best place to be! I started dancing at the age of 6 and I haven’t stopped. Starting uni last year I was a nervous wreck but after going to the first taster session I instantly felt like I was at home!  Everyone is so lovely and welcoming and I have met friends for life!

I’ve loved dancing my whole life, it’s my favourite way to de-stress and hang out with friends. Joining SUDS has been the best decision I’ve made and was the highlight of my first year of uni. I’ve met the best people and loved every minute. I can’t wait to meet all the new freshers and have the best year yet!!

I’ve been dancing since I was 5 years old, it’s been such a big part of my life! Being able to carry on dancing at uni has been amazing, I’ve made so many friends for life! It’s such a fun and welcoming society and I’m so excited for what this year will bring! Ready to have another great year at SUDS

 SUDS just feels like a family where you belong and everyone’s gets on and supports each other. I joined suds a couple of weeks into my first year and I was so nervous about joining but after going for the first time I just felt so welcomed and I’ve made the best of friends there. I definitely recommend joining suds and our big family! (Ps I can’t dance it takes me triple the time to remember one move and I have an attention span of a toddler so if I can do it so can you)
