Jasmine Austin – 3rd Yr VetMed, Churchill (on the right)
I joined CUDT as a beginner in 1st year and immediately fell in love with Ballroom and Latin dancing, especially driven by the community that it offered and the support everyone gave me! I got more involved last year as social secretary and now hope that I can help lead our team to victory this year, as well as maintain the joyful and inclusive atmosphere that I love about this team.
Qing Lu – 4th Year Medic, Clare (on the left)
Hello – my name is Qing! I’m a fourth year medic and I joined CUDT when I was a fresher 🙂 I’ve burnt out of many a sport, and have historically been terrified of competition – but my time competing with CUDT has been incredibly rewarding. CUDT are a genuinely really friendly and supportive bunch.
Whether you’re new to the sport or want to try the university circuit out – Jas and I would love to have you on board.
