Dance
The PHS
Dance Society is a CCA that strives to develop dancers of strong values and
character. The dancers have a strong sense of dedication and commitment.
Through dance, the dancers are empowered to express their emotions and stories.
The dancers also learn to build great teamwork and mutual respect among each
other.
The dancers
have actively participated in many school events such as Chinese New Year
celebrations, Thanksgiving concerts and Teacher’s Day performances, offering
the audience an unforgettable and beautiful experience.
They have
also represented the school to participate in public performances that allowed
them to improve their dance techniques. They learnt to experiment with
different styles of dance and most importantly, develop confidence on
stage.
The dancers
had also collaborated with Chaoyang School to put up an item for An
Extra•Ordinary Celebration to celebrate talents in Singapore's largest
inclusive concert in 2019. This helped the dancers to learn to work with
others and understand others better.
The dance
group is led by a talented and committed instructor, Miss Dorisa, whom had
immensely stretched the dancers to their fullest potential. Under her guidance,
the PHS Dance Society received a Certificate of Distinction at the 2019
Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Central Judging.
Dance
Society has given me many opportunities to perform in public, such as the SYF
Extravaganza Performance. I was the captain of my team, and I had dancers that
had different strengths in different genres of dance. We each have different
ideas, had a few conflicts but eventually, we came up with a choreography to
represent us as a team. It was a very fulfilling moment for me as I was
proud of how far my team had come, and to be able to perform a personal
choreography with them means a lot to me. The seniors have also guided and
assisted me in leading the team, which I am very thankful for, and hopefully,
our juniors and juniors-to-come will follow in our footsteps.

Devotion
It was most of our first time taking part in SYF
which made us clueless of what to expect. The past few months of hard work made
us learnt so many things, like teamwork, new steps and choreography,
perseverance and technique. After showcasing our SYF item, we were all so
relieved and happy, knowing that we all tried our best and we obtained a
Distinction! We all felt so elated and proud but this could not have happened
without Miss Dorisa who trained us so
well and gave so much of her time and effort together with the teachers in
charge.

We are
given a lot of opportunities to perform in school events such as Chinese New
Year, Thanksgiving, Teacher’s day performance. These opportunity allowed
dancers to self- choreography. Through
the years, I have learnt that there are many other styles of dance and we have
to be daring to explore them. We are happy to have opportunities to tell
stories through Dance.
