​The committee is behind the running of the Ballet Club, organising things such as weekly classes, performances, teachers, competitions, social events and merchandise. We meet regularly to make important decisions and plan ahead for upcoming events. 
 
The committee is elected at our AGM at the end of Lent term for the following year. Applicants have to write a few paragraphs and give a short speech on why they would like to join and what they will bring to the club. The committee is then voted for by our members. 

If you have any questions please get in touch here.

​President - Sierra Humbert
​
I am a third year student studying Social Anthropology at Downing College. Taking classes in ballet and tap since I was four years old, I competed in regular competitions up until I was 18 achieving distinction in IDTA Advanced Two Ballet. Since starting at Cambridge, I have loved the weekly classes and regularly choreographed for shows performing at the ADC theatre as well as taking part in productions such as 24 hour dance and at Claire May Ball. Highlights have been competing with the University in group dances around the country, playing Mercutio in the 2016 production of Romeo and Juliet and a Lead Peasant in Giselle this year. As President of the Ballet Club for 2017-18, I am really looking forward to the year ahead as we’ve already got some exciting plans for future performances and projects, but if you have any suggestions or questions for the society do get in touch!

Vice-President - Ayeisha Vaze 

​I am fresher studying Geography at Homerton College. I have been doing ballet since the age of 3, achieving my ITDA Advanced in 2015. I have also been lucky enough to dance as an associate of the Royal Ballet for 5 years and so was keen to get involved in the Ballet Club here in Cambridge. This year I have loved being part of the club, taking part in university dance competitions with the ballet team, performing a ballet-contemporary trio in the CUDS show ‘Poetry in Motion’, and being part of the club’s production of Giselle! I can’t wait to work with the rest of the committee to put on some more exciting shows next year!

Treasurer - Félix Fabryczny 

I'm a second year classicist at Pembroke College. I was born in the North of France and I always lived there, except during my last year of high school which I spent in the French Lycée in London. I started doing ballet when I arrived in Cambridge two years ago. Although I'm still a beginner, I enjoy going to as many classes as possible each week. Ballet has proved to be super stress-relieving during term-time! I also love ballet because it's an underestimated demanding sport. I took part in the main show last year (R&J) and it's one of my favourite Cambridge memories so far. As the new Treasurer, I'm looking forward working with the committee this coming year!​

Secretary - Natalia Hussein

I’m a second year history student at Murray Edwards College. I started ballet when I was four, continuing to dance while growing up in Paris and Rome. Ballet became fully ingrained in my life as I trained for higher level ISTD exams while at sixth form in Brighton. I have been involved in the Ballet Club in Cambridge since my first term, taking part in the production of Romeo and Juliet, and more recently in Giselle as a Lead Peasant. These have been my best experiences in Cambridge so far, so I can’t wait to be involved in planning next year’s show with the rest of the committee! Attending regular classes has given me lots of opportunities to improve and vary my technique, as well as getting a break from the library. As Secretary, I will help to keep these running smoothly, so that everyone can enjoy what the Club has to offer!​




​

Social Secretary - Olivia Morris

I’m a third year Classicist studying at Gonville & Caius College. I was born in Staffordshire, where I took up ballet at a very young age. Unfortunately, I decided at the time that it wasn’t for me. Since arriving at Cambridge however, my passion for dance has been rekindled. I have taken part in the club’s last two main shows, and danced my first soloist role as Bathilde in ‘Giselle’. Last year I was on the committee helping out with costumes and props, but this year I can’t wait to get stuck in arranging lots of fun socials for the club! When I’m not dancing (and studying), I like to write creatively, go climbing (mostly indoors), and love to play the occasional video game (if I can ever find the time!)​.

​Social Secretary - Hannah Ketteman 

​I’m a first year English student at Fitzwilliam college. I’ve been doing ballet since the age of three and have always loved it, completing my RAD Advanced 1 in 2014. I’m so excited to be able to continue doing ballet whilst at Cambridge and be part of the Ballet Club committee. This year I’ve been lucky enough to take part in the CUDS ‘Poetry in Motion’, the Ballet Club’s performance of ‘Giselle’ and the Cambridge ballet competition team. Dancing has always been a social sport for me and a way in which I’ve met some of my closest friends which is why I can’t wait to take on the role of Social Secretary alongside Olivia!

Costumes Officer - Charlie Mills

I’m a first year Human, Social and Political Sciences student at King’s College. I started ballet at the age of four and loved it immediately, and have since achieved my Grade 8 and spent two years studying the vocational grades Intermediate and Advanced. I branched into modern, jazz, and lyrical shortly after starting ballet; before moving to Cambridge, I took my exam in ISTD Intermediate Modern, and have spent two years studying Advanced One Modern. I look forward to working with the Ballet Club as one of the Costumes Officers over the next year!

​Costumes Officer - Cherish Jun Nicholson 

I am a postgraduate student studying secondary maths education at Queens' College. I was born and raised in the lovely city Guangzhou in the south of China. I never had the chance to take up dancing when I was growing up but I always have a passion for music. After the Freshers' Fair last year, I was so excited to find out there is a ballet club in Cambridge. Since then, I started to attend beginner classes. I’ve really enjoyed learning more about ballet and being able to work with the ballet club in this year's main show, Giselle, which was absolutely fantastic! I am looking forward to working with the committee on costumes over this coming year, and getting involved in our amazing shows!
