Officer Bios
James Posedel, President
James Posedel is quite possibly the biggest swing dancing enthusiast Appalachian State has ever known. He was born and raised in Chicago, IL but a cross country family move landed him here in sweet aired North Carolina.
Interestingly enough, James had no intention of becoming involved in a dance group during his college years, and was reluctantly dragged to a swing dance at Legends in 2007 by a lead-less friend. Now James has worked his way up to the difficult position of el presidente and has settled nicely into his new executive position. You can see him every week at the Quinn Center from 8:45-10:00 pm getting his groove on with many lucky ladies. Remember that his favorite dance is the Lindy Hop, but he cannot refuse an east coast or charleston dance.
James is a Psychology major and Spanish Minor.
Mark Arendas, Vice President
Mark doesn't do much as vice president, though I think that if James has a heart attack or is assassinated, it is Mark's duty to take over as leader of the Appalachian Swing Club.
He is an amazing teacher and can solo charleston like nobody's business. He is often dressed as a businessman vampire who shops at Hot Topic. But this only adds to his appeal and mystique. Don't be afraid to ask this guy for a dance. He definitely knows what he's doing on a dance floor.
Matthew C. Lonon, Public Relations Manager
Matthew is arguably the most important officer in the swing club.
Sonya Laws, Webmaster/Historian
Sonya is a history secondary education major and a sociology minor. As a child she practiced a traditional style of dance, known as clogging.
Sonya has been swing dancing for 2 years now. Come ask her to dance. Sonya usually avoids mortal kombat while participating in club meetings.
Niki Pinter, Secretary/Treasurer
Nikki has incredibly stylish and constantly changing hairsyles and colors. She is usually the girl with a big smile and blue hair, but sometimes its red because she's sneaky like that. She likes to make hats.
She is a business major which means that she likes money and knows just how to handle it. This is why she controls the swing club funds and dues. So just give her your money. You will be happy that you did.
Kaitlyn Kingston, Instructor
Kaitlyn is the best east coast teacher that Appalachian State has to offer. She is patient with beginners and oodles of fun for veterans. She knows a plethora of moves and willingly shares this knowledge with everyone. She is quite possible the nicest person you will ever meet.
Though she teaches East Coast, Kaitlyn's favorite swing dance style is Lindy Hop.
Karen Bullock, Instructor
Karen is a junior studying Professional Writing and Sociology. She has been dancing for 2 years and loves dancing Lindy Hop. Some of her favorite swing era songs inclued "Potato Chip song" and "If I Knew You Were Coming I'd have baked a cake". When not swing dancing, she enjoys cooking, reading, and horse back riding.
She is a great teacher and makes the most delicious brownies ever.
Storm Stuart, Instructor
Storm has been dancing since she was 3. She has been trained in ballet, pointe,tap, jazz, modern, lyrical, and swing! She loves to Lindy Hop, so don't be too intimidated by her ability to control the weather to ask her for a dance.
Her favorite swing dance song it "Oh Johnny", which she iniitially heard in the movie: Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe
Rachel Watson, Instructor
Rachel began her college career at William and Mary in Virginia. She later transferred to Appalachian State University to study English and Education. After graduation, Rachel plans to travel abroad and teach English as a second language. Rachel's passion for dancing lead her to the ASU Swing Club where she teaches Lindy Hop and Charleston. She travels often to swing workshops to further her dancing skills.
Mike Angolia, Instructor
Michael is a senior business major. He has been teaching swing dancing for two years and travels to various swing functions across the southeast often. He loves the Charleston, and is one of the more creative dancers at swing club. He adds his own flair to every dance.
