Executive Board

President

Christopher Whitten

Hey, I’m Chris! I’m an Undergraduate here at UConn, studying Pathobiology and Veterinary Sciences as a pre-vet student. This will be my third year on UConn’s team, my first year as President and Mentor, and my fourth year dancing Ballroom. When I’m not doing anything related to Ballroom, I’m either hanging out with friends, working at Banfield or Husky Watch, or studying.

Secretary

Kayla Cardin

Kayla is a junior music education major from Blackstone, MA. This is her third year on the team and second year on the board. She danced tap, jazz, and ballet since she was 4 and decided to try something new when she came to college by joining ballroom. She thinks that joining ballroom is one of the smarted decisions she has ever made.

Team Captain

Scott Loescher

Hi! I’m Scott. I don’t know why everyone puts there profile in the third person, so I am going to put mine in the first person. I may have trouble remembering your name, so friend me facebook and then it’ll stick. I arrange all of the official and most of the unofficial team social events because I love hanging out and spending time with my ballroom family. I am working on my masters in science education with certification at Southern, but despite graduating from UConn and living an hour away, you’ll still be seeing my face at almost all of the club and practice sessions. I am focusing in smooth, but I still love dancing and competing all four styles (even if I do complain about rhythm latin!). I am also a senior mentor on the team, so if you need any help please don’t hesitate to ask me. I love helping people learn to dance and am willing to meet with anyone outside of practice time to help with their dancing. Feel free to send me an email, facebook message, text, or call me anytime! I’m big on communication of all sorts, especially email (so check it and respond! >:O). See you on the dance floor!
