We hereby present the 25th board of M.S.D.V. Let’s Dance!
Our diverse board is comprised of 7 dancers from varying styles. These are the ones working to make our beautiful association run in the best way possible. They organise classes, workshops, parties, and many other fun activities!
Let’s take a look at each of our board members, their roles, and what they’ve got planned for this year!
President – Lion Janssen
Hi, I’m Lion, this year’s president! I just finished my bachelor here and am now also doing my master in Economic and Financial Research at UM. I started dancing ballroom in 2021 and was super excited to continue my journey in Maastricht, I immediatly joined Let’s Dance! when I moved here in 2023 and have been in love with the community ever since.
As president it is my job to oversee both the day-to-day operations and long-term planning for the association. I also manage the studio maintenance with Prepcie and coordinate tasks between different board members and committees. Additionally, I manage our relationship with MUSST and UM Sports, making sure everything runs smoothly between LD! and the university.
In case you have any questions on how the association works or ideas on how to improve it, you can always also come directly to me 🙂
Excited to see you in a great year for dance!
Vice-President – Sina Petkovic
Secretary – Johanna Rippers
Hi dancers!
I’m Johanna, the Secretary of M.S.D.V. Let’s Dance! 2025.
I joined Let’s Dance! last year when I came to Maastricht, starting with Ballet and Jazz as a creative hobby contrasting my European Law bachelor. This year I am looking forward to trying out more dance styles and classes, so hopefully we’ll meet in one of them. 🙂
As your secretary, I’m here to help the association run smoothly, both on and off the dance floor. I’ll primarily handle administrative tasks and manage our emails. So please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, concerns, or ideas you’d like to share!
I can’t wait to dance with you all! 🙂
Treasurer – Kristína Bažleková
Hi! My name is Kristina and I’ll be taking on the role of Treasurer in the 25th board of M.S.D.V. Let’s Dance! I’m a second-year Business Analytics student and originally from Slovakia. Dance has always been a big part of my life, I’ve been dancing competitively since I was little in HipHop and Disco Dance, and I absolutely love dancing contemporary and jazz as well. This year, I’ll be managing the association’s finances, making sure everything runs smoothly when it comes to budgeting, paying teachers and locations, handling invoices and more. I also lead our Merchie committee and support the other board members wherever needed. I’m really looking forward to an exciting year full of energy, events, and of course, dancing!
Commissioner of Dance – Annabell Chedor
Hello everyone! My name is Annabell, and I am this (and last) year’s Dance Commissioner! 🙂 I moved to Maastricht in 2021 to do a bachelor´s in Psychology, fell in love with the city and am now doing a Research master in Clinical Psychology here at UM . I grew up doing many different sports and joined Let’s Dance! in 2022 to try out something new, and I loved it! I started with Latin & Ballroom, and later joined SaBaKiz and Ballet. If I find the time, I would love to try out HipHop and Contemporary as well.:)
As your Dance Commissioner, I will be in charge of organising Classes and Workshops, so if you have any complaints (I hope not :)), recommendations or ideas, I will be your point of contact. Please don’t hesitate to reach out whenever you have any questions or want to share ideas. You can reach me via text or talk to me in person. I am excited to work with all of you!
See you on the dance floor! 🙂
Commissioner of Promotions – Laurie Galas
Commissioner of External Relations – Wen Huang
Hiii! I’m Wen, some of you might know me as last year’s president. I’m your new External Relations at Let’s Dance. I’m Dutch, from Maastricht, and a second-year Data Science & AI student at FSE. I’m a gamer, I watch anime, and I fell in love with dancing in my first year. I’m mostly into ballroom dancing, and I’m also a cheerleader (yes, I can safely hold someone above me with one arm!).
As Commissioner of External Relations I will work with other associations and partners to bring you collaborations, parties, and workshops. I will also put lots of energy into our lustrum. Got an idea or a partner we should connect with? Message me, and let’s make great things happen together!
See you in class!
