Hi I’m Elizabeth Lombard but everyone calls me Libby. I have been a member of UConn ballroom since 1996 and have been on the board in various position. I was the competiton coordinator in 1997 and 98, and the social secretary in 1999. I think all of these positions no longer exist – but hey such is life. I am now employed as a registered nurse at St Francis hospital in Hartford and spend all of my time either at work or dancing. (At least it feels that way) When I can squeeze time away from ballroom I can be found reading a good book or watching anime with friends.
Adam has been on the dance team for the last five years and has been in charge of the website for the last four. He is currently studying Computer Science at Manchester Community College and enjoys being able to help out the team in any way possible – be it helping out a newcomer or working on the website.
Andrea joined the UConn Ballroom team in the fall of 2005 as a freshman. She has since graduated with a major in Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies (that means old Greek and Roman stuff) with a minor in Women’s Studies. She likes toe socks and fringe. Also cats. You can call her “Andy” or “Andrea,” whichever you like. She never wears her glasses, so wave if you want her to recognize you from further than ten feet away!
Jason is a 3rd year graduate student in mathematics and is in his 2nd year competing on the team. He plays intramural and recreational sports of all kinds in any season, and can be a tiny bit competitive about them. He has worked hard on dance since he started, though until his Latin hips arrive (they’re in the mail), he favors Smooth/Standard. Speaking of which, he frequently elbows short, or average sized, people in the head by accident while dancing, and apologizes in advance if you are such a person.
Deb is a sixth semester Communication Sciences major at UConn. This is her first year on the board but she has been a member of the UConn Ballroom Dance Team since her freshman year. She loves that being on the board will help her give back to the team. Her favorite styles are rhythm and latin. She is also a DJ with the UConn radio station 91.7 WHUS.
George is a UConn Alumni who graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Molecular and Cell Biology. He currently works as a Chemist at a Pharmacy in Massachussets. This is his 3rd year on the team and first year as a mentor. During his spare time, if any, he loves playing and watching all types of sports and enjoys choreographing dances for various groups on campus.
Scott is a 7th semester Biology major and has been dancing since his first semester. His favorite dances are Quickstep and Paso, and is quickly learning to love Viennese Waltz. When not dancing, he is most likely playing World of Warcraft or procrastinating is some other fashion.
