Kerry Mann
Dancesport President
Hi all I’m Kerry- your President for this year!
I’ve been Ballroom and Latin dancing since the age of four, taking loads of exams up to Presidency at my home club. My favourite dance is the rumba but you’ll most often find me dancing to some classic ballroom tracks… I’ve loved taking on the new challenge of competitions for the Uni and learning salsa- which I have now fallen in love with.
I’m so excited to be the President for this year and share my love and passion to everyone; making the society bigger and better. Any questions about our classes, socials and events drop me an email on km501@exeter.ac.uk and I’ll be happy to help.
