Interested in getting involved in UQ Dance?

Yep, so its that time of year again.  Next week, we are going to vote in a new team of Executives!  As usual, I believe your current bunch of execs are going to go for roles again but are hoping to shuffle around.  There are going to be a lot more roles this time as well!  But as always, we shall all vote on it!  


Below you will find role descriptions.  These are the people who will be ultimately responsible for particular tasks, we have always however, shared the load.  So, there is also a general role decription that applies to all executives.

Any UQ Dance Executive:

  • You are a representative of UQ Dance, and as such, you are to be at all times appropriate, presentable, and friendly when partaking in club activities.
  • You are a representative of a panel of executives, as such, you must communicate effectively, and make decisions together with other executives.

President:

  • Overall control and responsibility of the club.  Their responsibility is to ensure that all other executives are performing their duties, and that cut-off dates are met.
  • Must organize, set-up, and pack-up the weekly Wednesday night workshop and social dancing, as well as Market days.

  • Must keep a running account of these records, ie. Enter receipts as we get them, and is responsible for the cheque book.  As general policy, the treasurer must always be a signatory on a cheque to ensure the treasurer is always aware of all financial matters.

  • They are essentially responsible for the image of UQ Dance.
  • Must communicate with necessary executives about upcoming events, potential events, etc.

 

Events Organizers (2 of them):

  • Responsible for the organization of 2 picnics (one within the first 3 weeks of each semester), 2 movie nights, and an end of semester party, every semester.
  • In addition, they are responsible for organizing any additional events that UQ Dance are invited to be apart of during semester.

 

Troupe Leaders (One Male, One Female):

  • Responsible for the organization and training of the ‘UQ Dance Troupies’.  They should have enough ability and experience to teach others to dance, and should be able to Rueda and Charleston.
