This hasn’t got much reference to the Education programme, in fact it has none at all, but this blog is for reflecting on our experiences we have throughout our time at university and I feel this is important for me.

I have danced since I could walk. Literally. My mum and dad loved to perform and I guess they passed on that trait to all three of their daughters. I still have vivid memories of turning up to my first dancing class in my leotard and tights, hiding behind my mum’s legs pretending I was shy! I even remember one of the dances we did – and the music!

Dancing show fun with two of my best friends, Gemma and Kaitlyn, aged 5.

In February 2015, my younger sister and I drove through to the Gardyne Theatre in Dundee to watch Dundee University Dance Club perform their annual show. Knowing a few girls through previous dance organisations, we were excited to see what they had been working on. I was completely blown away by every single routine and automatically knew that I wanted to join the club when I came to The University of Dundee in September.

September came, and I went to the ‘give-it-a-go’ session and absolutely loved it! The love and energy in the room is never-ending, and it was so nice to see so many happy, smiley faces doing what they love most. Over the next few weeks, I attended a variety of classes, ranging from hip-hop to contemporary. I tried out for a few of the teams, and was shocked when I was selected for the Hip Hop Competition Team, and although I have to take part in conditioning classes every Sunday (lets be honest, it’ll probably be good for me to do some exercise!), I can’t wait to get to know all of the girls in the club.

I am so excited to see what the next four years at DUDC has in store for me.
