Committee Member Introductions

Joanne Lambert
Jo
President

Hi everyone! It's quite daunting being president of such a fun and active society but I wanted to give back something to CUTAZZ because I've loved being a member since I came to Cambridge. I even met my best friend through CUTAZZ! I hope I will get to know lots of you more over the next year and already can't wait for the next show! Any ideas let me know!!

I've been a member of CUTAZZ since I started university so am really excited to be on the committee this year.

Happy Dancing!

Hi, I'm Danielle and the Secretary hoping to keep our dancing organised for the year! I'm really excited to be involved with CUTAZZ because it hosts great classes for its members and puts on amazing shows! I love to dance and my favourite style is tap.

Sarah Warry
Sarah
Treasurer

Hi I'm Sarah and I'll often be the one sitting at the back of the classes taking the money and therefore hopefully getting in on all sorts of dances! I'm really excited to be on the committee this year and will be keeping the finances in order and working out what we can spend to make CUTAZZ even better.

Amanda
Social

I've been dancing since I was three and have tried most styles including an embarrassing stint as a line dance competitor (not as bad as it sounds-honest!) I've danced all over the place, from performing at the Royal Albert Hall to practising in a Horse stable! CUTAZZ is a great place to meet like-minded people and have loads of fun both in and out of class, so i hope to see lots of you at CUTAZZ socials throughout the year!!

Merchandise

Hey I'm Lizzie and it's my job to make sure we all look fit the whole year round in our Cutazz stash and show costumes, because I believe that when you are confident in what you look like, you perform better. I ADORE being on stage, and was national runner-up in irish dancing aged 15!

Publicity & Events

Who knew that joining a dance society could involve not just performing at balls, fabulous costumes and going to the theatre, but also venturing to Homerton, and - in my case - foraying into the world of html?
