The SP team on DanceWorks! 2013
The four of us took some time off to gather at a café by the river reminiscing the times we have been with Danceworks!.
A little more details… Like every other poly students, we all have to complete a final year project aka FYP to sum up our course of study; and for events, we have a cooler term for it known as integrated project (IP). However, unlike everyone else, we took up 2 IP! And Danceworks is our second IP; which also means we have more work and commitment compared to our course mates.
The most familiar question friends would ask us is, “do you regret taking it up?” and we would smile and reply, “We would regret if we hadn’t”. We must admit that there were times we would feel tied down by commitment; lack of time for us to do other things. But it never stop us from wanting to stay involved with Danceworks!. Over time we learn to schedule and plan ahead so that we will have a well-balanced time for family, friends and Danceworks!.
The most precious takeaways for us are the ones we learn from experiences beyond what lecturers can teach and books or internet can update us.
Through this process we found out that during the event itself, feelings and intuition are the guide to follow. You know, just like when you’re dancing; you only listen to the voice in your heart telling you what’s the next move. So we stop being too overly obsessed with standardization and familiarity, we start listening to ours instinct while at the same time allowing ourselves to discover the path to think out of the box.
Here’s a quote to end this post,
“it is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover”

With Love, The SP-DanceWorks! team
HELLO!!
This is a special entry to share with you about “US”!
If you have been reading the magazines or pay some attention on the details of the backdrop, you would have properly known that unlike the previous years, Danceworks! 2013 is organised in collaboration with Singapore Polytechnic.
So… Here we are! The Four Musketeers …
We are no super handsome guys or pretty girls, but we have been through the highs and lows to help realise Danceworks! 2013.
A little information about us:
Who? (top left corner-clockwise direction) YongWen, Eugene, QiMin and SuHui!
Where? Singapore Polytechnic- Diploma in Integrated Events and Project Management (DEPM)
Why? In general, we decided to take on this project because we feel that it is very meaningful and provide a vast exposure of learning opportunity and most importantly, we are just like you all, hunger for new adventure!
So far… We love…
Working with CNB, who are constantly caring and guiding us throughout this journey. One of our many memorable moments is the time we took the train together for the DanceWords activity, as we communicate like friends without barriers.
The best part of this entire journey is really having you guys supporting us in DanceWords and the dance competition itself. We know how cliché this sounds but if you ever have the chance to experience the whole process from planning to execution, we are very certain this is what you guys would say as well.

Cat III Prelims @ Bugis+
DanceWorks! 2013 Cat III Prelims!
Everyone was busy touching up their makeups, hairstyles, costumes etc. They were all so eager and nervous to make sure they would put up an incredible show for the judges.
Look at the crowd!
And the competition starts!
All the dance movements were indeed mesmerizing! Some were really good at the techniques, the strengths; some matches well with the themes!
It was then followed by a special performance of b-boy style!
Of course, lucky dancers have gotten a chance to learn some of the steps from them!
Psychology fun fact: watching others dance will cause our muscles to respond in a way we think we are dancing too!
So why not join in the dance? Before the results were announced, our mass dance was once again introduced. Everyone who were there for DanceWorks! danced together!
Learn the dance steps! It's very simple.
Let's dance together again on 6 April! See you then!
