My Awesome CDZ Life


The name of CDZ is the acronym for 'Catholic University Dancing Zone', and it is the only central dancing circle in Catholic University of Korea. My way of joining this circle is quite special. At first, I did not participate in the audition for CDZ. This is because I was a little bit shy girl. I thought I was not that good at dancing like other member of my circle. I danced in our major's MT, and one of sophomores at school suggested that I join CDZ. I thought about it and I think it is a good suggestion so I joined the club.


Let me share with you my CDZ Life. We usually have a circle meeting from 6 to 9 PM every Tuesdays and Thursdays. During our meeting, we usually take a test so that everyone dances in front of others. In turn, other member give an advice to another member. This is a good practice to improve our craft. Actually, I have a GEO class from 8 to 9 during the same day, so I always have to leave our club earlier than other members. I feel sorry to them, but they understand mey situation fully and for that I am grateful. These days, all members always gather together because of the preparation for the school festival. My friends say "It is very hard to see and spend some time with you. You must be busy. Aren't you tired? Your circle is too strict!" However, I have never regretted being a part of this club. It is such a pleasant thing to communicate with our club members and spend a great time with them. Unlike what other people think, my seniors are very kind and nice people.  

These days, I am excited to perform along with the CDZ club during our school festival. I hope I can be a part of this club until I finish my college year at CUK. I think aside from GEO, this is a great activity that students can be involved in. I am trying to keep things balanced, which is not an easy thing to do. However, I am grateful about the fact that I can enjoy these two activities.  I hope you find an organization and activities that you enjoy too. This way you can make the most out of your time, learn something new and enjoy your time.
