Enrichment Activities
Apart from performances, our dancers are also given the opportunity to learn through various enrichment activities and learning journeys. In addition, our dancers are also given the opportunity to teach their peers their dance moves.
Dance workshop for Thai students from Tepleela School
Our dancers had the privilege to conduct a dance workshop for the Thai students from Tepleela school. The Thai students were taught the 5 basic dance moves in Malay dance – Inang, Asli, Masri, Joget and Zapin. They also put up a performance which incorporated the 5 basic dance moves.
Learning Journey to Bukit Chandu
Held during the March holidays, the learning journey to Bukit Changdu aimed to give the dancers an appreciation of the sacrifices of our past generations to the nation. It gave the dancers an opportunity to understand the values held by the soldiers in overcoming challenges and obstacles. Visiting Bukit Chandu also provided them an opportunity to feel the “Kampung atmosphere” which allowed them to get into their respective characters when they danced.
