EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
PRESIDENT | Natalie Chionh
|
Styles: Ballroom, Latin, Salsa, Bachata, Swing, Broadway, Argentine Tango, Zouk, Hip Hop, New Vogue, Jazz, Ballet & Lyrical
Bubble tea enthusiast (read: not an addict), lover of fluffy animals, international woman of mystery. Natalie has been dancing since the age of 6, her favourite styles currently include Standard Ballroom, Latin Ballroom, Broadway, Zouk and the Chicken Dance🐓. Natalie lives (and dies) by the motto "bubble tea solves everything". If you need to contact Natalie and she is not at her usual haunts, room 304 at 757 Swanston st, or Laser Room at the Sports Centre, you may be able to lure her to you with puppies. Quote of the year: "hot showers are great, french showers I hate" - seriously, figure it out. |
VICE-PRESIDENT | Julie Lloyd
|
Styles: Ballroom, Latin, Salsa, Swing & Broadway
Julie is a musical nerd, Pokemon nerd, and a bird nerd. She loves all styles of dance and is a Ginger Rogers wannabe. She enjoys listening and dancing to music with Wally, her pet budgie (he likes cha-cha and aerials). After a long year of lockdown, Julie has never been more eager to go outside and perform. |
SECRETARY | Sam HoffmanN
|
Styles: Salsa, Bachata, Swing, Hip Hop, Ballroom & Latin
After deciding robots were cool in high school, Sam travelled from Perth to Unimelb to Study Mechatronics with a side of Computing, which he is in his second year of. Although he has just started dancing at MUDC he is backed up with many years of experience of flailing around the house to loud music when no one is home. Sam enjoys trying new things (and dance styles), along with Reading, hiking and Sailing. |

Styles: Ballroom, Latin & Swing
Currently a third year science student, Charlotte is an adventurous soul who is always looking to try something new. She joined MUDC in 2019 and particularly enjoys the styles of Ballroom and Latin.

Tristan, the resident MUDC dark elf, setting out three years ago on a quest to create the perfect event to channel Dhar. He has travelled far and wide, learning Ballroom, Latin, Salsa and Bachata.

Lily loves music and considers dancing such a fun way of musical engagement and expression. As a regular member of MUDC since 2019, Lily dances Latin and Salsa and is interested in exploring different styles. When not dancing you can find her reading books, dreaming about travelling to new places, or getting ready for the next movie marathon. |
PERFORMANCE COORDINATOR | YUFEI (ANGEL) HUANG
|
Styles: Latin
Yufei (aka. Angel), was first introduced to dance through ballet before a short stint with Chinese dance. She is at her happiest when learning new choreographies and performing, as she believes dance synchronises the mind and body.
