KUL Social Dance
For the balfolk and social dance courses at the KU Leuven, I'm the teacher's unofficial community manager and teaching assistant.
As I keep coming back to this course I'm at a significantly higher level than most other participants (it's still fun and I keep learning).
This allows me to give good feedback to my dance partners in a gentle manner (without overloading their brains or putting pressure when they're already at their limits).
On top of that, when one of the teachers can't make it, I'm the default replacement to help show the moves and give instructions.
On top of that, in the holiday periods (when there are no official classes), I organise a replacement where I teach on my own.
Logistical organizer for performances
I help a local dance studio with their yearly performances in various ways.
One of the bigger tasks was the creation of a logistical plan to make sure the necessary material gets transported from the studio to the performance location in Antwerp city.
This involved recruiting drivers, making an inventory, a timetable, researching parking options, informing the group that went by train
(they picked up the material from the cars, so the cars could immediately move to park) and coordinating everything the day itself.
As there was another event going on at the same time, I derisked the operation by sending a scout ahead of time and planning a secondary drop off location in case the primary location wouldn't work.
The day itself everything went according to plan, with each driver arriving within a 5 minute frame and people waiting for them.
Several participants congratulated me for making it the smoothest execution they've ever seen (it's a yearly thing).
Besides getting the material to the location, I also wrote a detailed plan of which piece had to be where at what part of the performance
and instructed several participants (of other parts) to manage this. All went according to plan and for this I also received praise from the dancers and organizers.
