Chinese Dance
Background
BPPS Chinese Dance has been established since 1995. It comprises 2 classes, the Elementary class and Intermediate class. New members will be attending the Elementary class to learn basic Chinese dance movements and skills. They are promoted to the Intermediate class once they have met the minimum requirements to experience a higher level of dance technique and choreography. In both classes, the training incorporates various types of dance movements, including traditional and contemporary to cultivate a greater appreciation of Dance. There is also focus on dance technique training as well as body conditioning exercises (e.g stretching activities, acrobatic moves etc) to develop flexibility and stamina.
Through intensive but enjoyable dance lessons, BPPS Chinese Dance aims to guide and hone our dancers in the pursuit of excellence in dance and groom talents to contribute to Singapore’s growing Performing Arts community.
