The Tampines Meridian Modern Dance is one guided by the principles of passion, discipline and perseverance. Constantly striving to achieve clarity and impact in their movements, the dancers train hard to develop strong technique in various genres such as contemporary, hip-hop, and waacking, among others. In 2019, our dancers had the opportunity to participate in the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Arts Presentation. We performed a contemporary dance item titled, Unrelenting, and truly showed much resilience and strength in their journey to the SYF. Months of hard work and gruelling training aimed at perfecting the steps and expressing the emotions of the choreographed piece eventually led to their achievement of the Certificate of Accomplishment.
Beyond that, our dancers also had opportunities to choreograph and present items that were uniquely theirs. Student choreographers worked intensively with their peers to put up stunning performances for various school events such as TM Celebrates! 2019 and Open House 2020. As the dancers continue to develop as better dancers individually and as a team, they look forward to many more performances they will put up in time to come, in particular, the SYF Arts Presentation 2021.
