2021 has been an eventful year for the Modern
Dance team. Our dancers faced many difficulties
such as attending practice sessions in smaller
groups and having shorter training hours to
prepare for the highly anticipated Singapore
Youth Festival Arts Presentation (SYF AP).
It was an experience like no other for the
dancers. They worked very hard and adapted to
the constraints imposed by safe management
measures in order to prepare for their SYF
We faced many changes in the CCA
structure due to COVID-19. Dance practice
sessions had to be held in smaller groups
with staggered schedules, before it
reverted to online sessions again. each time
we met as a group, it was so precious and
enjoyable. SYF was an exhilarating journey
this year against the mundane backdrop of
the pandemic – up to the very last minute
of the competition, our dancers stepped
out of their comfort zones to adapt to
unforeseen changes. They worked as a
team to help each other put on their best
performance and we are extremely proud
of the students for being so resilient and
positive throughout the journey.

With the COVID-19 restrictions, it made this
year’s syf journey rather interesting.
We had to adapt to rules like staying
two metres apart from each other and
not being able to touch the ground. The
trainings were tough but it brought us
dancers closer and we bonded well
together. the sweat and tears were
definitely worth it.
