After coming to Iowa Wesleyan and seeing all the things they offer I thought to myself thinking, this is a great school. I started to enjoy a month at Iowa Wesleyan, but I knew something was missing about me. I was getting homesick calling my mom everyday saying I just want to come home to my family and all she would say is, “do something that keeps you busy, you can’t come home”. Me and my friends would dance in my room but it was never nothing serious. Therefore, one day we were dancing and I say let’s start a dance club, they thought I was joking at first, they started laughing and I said ok watch. I went to the student development office and I received so many papers and I started to give up. Weeks after receiving those papers I got them done.
My purpose of creating this dance club is because dancing is something I really enjoy doing. I started dancing in 7th grade at McKay elementary school and continued since than. Bringing a dance club to Iowa was great because it’s a way to open up different personalities and learn different dances. This dance club really means a lot to me and is something I would want to continue until I graduate, and even when I graduate I would want others to continue to dance.
Once an established organization, groups are encouraged to attend monthly Student Government (SGA) meetings. Groups are eligible to request funds, room rentals, and marketing promotions through SGA.
