Uluç Saranli's Personal Life: Dancing
Dancing
I have first started dancing in 1995, with the Middle East Technical University Couple Dances Club. Since then, I cannot seem to live without doing some type of dancing. Among my current obsessions are:
Ballroom Dancing

I started ballroom dancing in 1995 in Turkey. After coming to Ann Arbor, I have joined The University of Michigan Ballroom Dance Club, where I have learned most of the basics and totally got hooked to dancing.

In Fall 1997, with a couple of friends from the club, we have founded The University of Michigan Ballroom Dance Team, in an attempt to advance beyond social dancing and participate in competitions. As of December 1999, we have participated in 8 collegiate competitions and some amateur competitions, where we valiantly competed against other colleges and amateur couples.

Jazz Dance

My involvement with Jazz dance started after I have seen the 1997 performance of the Jazz Dance Theater, which is a local non-profit dance company, performing twice every year in Ann Arbor. Since then, I have been in love with Jazz Dance and I have been taking beginning I and II level classes in Dance Theater Studio, from various instructors. My goal is to participate in some sort of performance on stage before I graduate.

Flamenco

In Fall 1999, I have joined the Encompass-Flamenco group. We will perform on January 15, 2000 in Michigan Theater, in the show Encompass, which is a collective performance of various student groups, including Impact Dance, 58 Greene and others. This is the first time I am doing flamenco, but so far I like it. We will see how this one proceeds.
