Footloose is an open, welcoming, and accepting community. Therefore, the well-being of our members is exceptionally important to us. We are always working on creating a safe space: such an environment, where everyone can be themselves, and we can dance and have fun together.
However, we know that life can sometimes be a rollercoaster, and dealing with school, work, and life in general can be difficult.
Our Confidential Peer Supporters (CPS) are here for you. Whether you are looking for guidance on next steps, considering professional help, or simply want someone to talk to, our CPS team is ready to listen and support you. And of course, everything you share with them stays completely confidential.
A list of our Confidential Peer Supporters can be found below.
Feel free to contact whoever speaks most to you!
Emma
Hi, I’m Emma, a Confidential Peer Supporter here at Footloose. You might have seen me at modern, feminine, or salsa classes, or maybe just at events. Outside of Footloose, I study at Industrial Design and like to draw, paint, craft, bake, and anything making.
I have always enjoyed dancing because of the connection it shapes with others. I want to share this positive feeling, which is why I chose to become a CPS. Feel free to contact me or any of the other CPS people, we are all here to help <3
If you would like to have a chat with me about anything that is going on, or if you have something occupying your mind, you can contact me through my email below.

Jade
Hi! My name is Jade and I’m 21 years old. I have been studying at the TU/e for 4 years doing PT and I have just started my masters HTI! I’m Dutch and was born in a very small village called Veessen (above the rivers). I moved to Eindhoven when I was 17 and have since then found my passion dancing here at the university at Footloose! I enjoy doing feminine and hiphop, but you can also find me in various dance groups, like Vibes Vibes, Panic!AtTheDiscord and Chippiez.
I’d like to describe myself as a caring and trustworthy person, so if you ever feel like you need someone to talk to, don’t be afraid to reach out! 🙂

Liya
Hey! I’m Liya and I’m 21 years old. I was born and raised in Antwerp (just across the border), so you’ll have to excuse my Flemish accent 🙂
I just started my master’s in Biomedical Engineering and AI & Engineering Systems here at TU/e. You might have seen me around Footloose at Feminine, HipHop, or Ballet classes, or maybe in one of the committees I used to be part of. In my free time, I love to give back to the associations I am a part of, by joining different committees and mostly making promotion.
My peers describe me as a very caring, committed, and emotionally intelligent friend who’s easy to talk to, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need a listening ear. I’m always happy to help, so feel free to walk up to me or contact me via the email below! <3

Merel
Hi! I am glad you found this page. I am here to offer a listening ear to whoever wants to have a chat 🙂
I love dancing, pole dancing, snowboarding and going for walks, to name a few activities. Study or non-study related, you can often find me abroad. I am a fan of adventure, both humorous and serious conversations, gaining new experiences and exploring the world.
Through listening without judgement, I hope to lower barriers to seek support and create a safe environment to talk about what is on your mind, no matter big or small. Please don’t hesitate to take the step of reaching out to me.

Teun
Hihi! How nice of you to read my message. Now that I’ve got you here, let me introduce myself a little.
My name is Teun and I’m currently 20 years old. I study Industrial Design here at the TU/e and love to spend my time doing crafts like crocheting, watching YouTube or anime, hanging out with friends, drinking chocolate milk, and, of course, dancing! Perhaps you noticed me in the Hiphop and/or Feminine classes, or have seen me perform with my dance group ‘Vibes Vibes’.
People tell me I’m fun to talk to, so don’t hesitate to be the judge of that yourself.
I will always be here if you need me, so please feel free to walk up to me or send me an email!
