2020 COMMITTEE

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

PRESIDENT  | ANDREA SIM MCWHINNEY
Picture
Style: Ballroom and Latin

Andrea is our president and resident advocator of rocks, which is her other passion. She started dancing when she entered University and did not know she was capable of diving so deep into this hobby (evidently) but here she is.

The Dancesport styles have been her favourite ever since she started and she is still very much entrenched in the endless hours of dancing instead of focusing on the endless number of essays that seem to just appear out of nowhere (and I (she) oop). Other than Dancesport, she enjoys cooking in her spare time.
​
VICE-PRESIDENT  | Sylvia ENG
Picture
Styles: Swing, Ballroom & Street Latin (Salsa & Bachata)

Matcha-dependent, dad-joke enthusiast, and standing very tall at 5'2,  Sylvia is a fourth year Psychology student and Vice-President for 2020. She joined the club in 2017 as a jaffy with 2 left feet. She dabbles into most styles offered at MUDC, but swing takes the cake any day of the week. ​
When not dancing, she can be found doodling, composing music, procrasti-cooking or crying over her thesis.


SECRETARY | WILBER KWOK
Picture
Styles: ​Basic steps
Professional beginner dancer for hire
Professional beginner reporting for dance floor. Can do many basic steps. All consecutively. Will very rarely wander to more advanced steps like side steps in salsa and forward steps in bachata.
I believe consistency is key. Partners always know what to expect. Very strong in leading basic steps. I can basic step in swing, salsa, bachata, standard ballroom, Latin, Zouk, one step in hip hop, and can do the macarena.
Leads, please don't worry I can also basic step as a follow.
TREASURER  | KENSUKE HOASHI

Kensuke/Ken (also known as Young Ken, or Sir Kenneth by some individuals of MUDC( ̄~ ̄;)) is in his third and final year of Biomedicine.

Will try to share his happiness by dragging people into ballroom

EVENTS COORDINATOR  | SHARON ALBUQUERQUE
Picture
Styles: Std Ballroom, Lat Ballroom ​

I stumbled upon MUDC during my orientation and have been attached to the club ever since. I’m a postgrad student studying Human Resources, and dancing keeps me sane! Also, I make lame jokes.


If you’re a Friends fan, you’ll find a friend in me (see what I did there). PS: I identify the most with Monica
PERFORMANCE COORDINATOR  | JULIE LLOYD
Picture
Styles: Std Ballroom, Lat Ballroom ​

Julie is a science student who loves all styles of dancing. She especially loves to listen and dance to songs from musicals or anything with an awesome clarinet part (clarinet is the best instrument!) 


She enjoys spending time with Wally, her pet budgie and will get overly excited if someone mentions birds or Pokemon.
