Indian Dance

Purposes of CCA

The Lianhua Indian Dance has been a part of the Performing Arts for about 20 years. It aims to inculcate the love and appreciation for the Indian dance forms.

It also aims to develop dance skills among students from diverse racial groups and at the same time, allow students to express themselves gracefully through classical, folk and contemporary dance movements. It fosters values such as self discipline, unity, resilience, diligence and compassion as students are challenged with various dance techniques and forms.

Collaboration with Community

Performances and competitions are great platforms for our dancers to showcase their capabilities and strengths in the performing arts. Students are exposed to National Competitions such as the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) every two years. They are also given the opportunity to perform in school events (e.g. Deepavali and Prize Giving Ceremony) and public events organized by external organizations (e.g. Grassroots Organization).

Mid-Autumn Celebration

Students are provided with opportunities to perform at Grassroots events yearly. Students have performed at Mid-Autumn events, Chingay @ Heartlands 2025 Event (Chua Chu Kang GRC and Hong Kah North SMC) and other community events. Students train and perform with zeal. They enthralled the audience at public events with their agile and graceful movements.

Experiences beyond Lianhua

Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) – Arts Presentation For Dance (Indian)

Students are provided with the opportunity to perform at the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) – Arts Presentation For Dance (Indian) every two years. Students develop resilience and teamwork while preparing for the presentation.

The love for Indian Dance has influenced our students to continue with this passion in their post-primary education. Indian Dance CCA is definitely a CCA which any child could join to have fun and at the same time, acquire a beautiful and ancient art form experience. In 2024, our Indian Dance was awarded the Certificate of Accomplishment for their captivating performance in the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Arts Presentation For Dance (Indian).

The dance, titled “Sakthi, The Energy Within,” beautifully embodies the theme of female empowerment and the innate strength that every woman possesses. It celebrates the multifaceted nature of femininity, showcasing aspects such as strength, compassion, gentleness, and resilience.

This journey proved to be both challenging and immensely rewarding for our students as they committed themselves to mastering new steps and finishing the choreography.

Participating in SYF brings me lots of joy because I love to dance, and the song we performed is my personal favorite. This connection to the music makes the dance even more special for me. While I feel a sense of sadness about leaving my CCA this year, I treasure the bond I share with my CCA members and will miss them dearly. I look forward to reuniting with them for dance after my PSLE. SYF provides me the opportunity to follow my passion and dancing brings me so much happiness, and I believe it resonates with the audience.
