Vice-President - Emily
My name is emily bender, I'm a second year linguistics major at pitt, and I've been dancing for almost a year. I danced a very little bit in middle school for our school plays, but never took formal lessons. I started coming to cotton club meetings with a friend my freshman year and basically fell in love with it from the start! I participated in the pitt stop lindy hop last year, but now I'm addicted to latin dance, and I love to go to Dowe's downtown. now, I serve as the vice president of the cotton club and i send out lovely e-mails about upcoming meetings, events, etc. to our members and I help to instruct during our meetings. I'm so excited to be a part of this,and i hope everyone gets as much out of this organization as i do!
