Top 7 Runway Ready Recruiters of Dancer Recruitment Week

Emily Davis is a member of the Publicity Committee

In the spirit of Dancer Recruitment Week, the dedicated members of Carolina For The Kids turned the pit into a New York runway. These stylish recruiters channeled their inner fashionistas in order to spread the word about the 2017 UNC Dance Marathon, and encourage their fellow Tar Heels to take part
From fanny packs to feathers, we’ve compiled some of the most outrageous and outstanding looks of 2017’s DRW.

#1 Annie Proctor, Morale & Recruitment Committee

Annie served bold looks all week long as Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Buzz Lightyear, and Princess Buzz Lightyear. This DRW diva’s fashion icons include Buzz Lightyear and Audrey Hepburn.

#2 Will Harris, Campus Fundraising Chair

Will’s bold choice of ninja turtle onesie came with a cause, “I am here in my ninja turtle outfit because I want people to see how much joy helping the kids brings to me and I want to share that with everyone else who is out in the pit,” he explained.

#3 Emily Wayland, Sponsorship & Development Chair

Emily’s stylish boa and tutu combo looked like a teenage dream. “Katy Perry is my spirit animal,” she said, “so I embody her in everything I do.”

#4 Jack Agres, Morale & Recruitment Committee Subchair

Jack proudly stood on all 10 legs and tentacles For the Kids. “I am dressed as a sharktopus, half shark, half pus,” Jack elaborated on his show-stopping combination, “What inspired me were the SciFi original movies, Sharktopus one, two, and three. Solid movies.”

#5 Jillian Ghuneim, Morale & Recruitment Committee

Jillian shimmered from head to toe in her DIY glittery tutu. Her look was complimented by a fashion-forward fanny pack, which she got in her first year at the UNC Dance Marathon.

#6 Jennifer Gay, Community Outreach Chair

Jennifer recruited dancers throughout the week in her show-stopping, custom CFTK Nike Dunks. “The reason we [CFTK Executive Board] got them was to symbolize standing up for those kids who can’t,” she said.

#7 Toby Porter, Dog (feat. Walker Porter, Morale & Recruitment Committee)

Walker and his one-of-a-kind accessory, Toby, strutted their stuff in the pit at DRW. “We are standing because we believe that every kid should have the opportunity to have medical care without all of the stressors of not being able to afford it,” Walker explained.
