1. Wellness in Dance: An Approach to Dance Training
I look forward to sharing my experiences as an Independent Dance Artist alongside this amazing panel. Amazing discussions will be had, tackling prevalent questions between dance training and mental health!
22 January 2022 8pm FLA 23 January 2022 9am SG/HK World Dance Alliance (Singapore) is hosting its first virtual webinar in 2022 focusing on dancers' training as it encompasses physical health, mental health, and overall well-being. We will be learning from dance artists who have managed to successfully cultivate their artistry while maintaining a healthy balance between their different passions. Counterpointing this perspective will be two medical experts as they share their knowledge and experience in physical training, injury prevention and rehabilitation, mental hygiene and stress management. Join Dr Jennifer Marie Yang, Dr Lielanie Mae Aguilar-Pascasio, and Dancers Jayson Yap and Maybelle Lek as they discuss key issues that dancers face in their training with our moderator, DrFil.

2. Another round of Ballet in Candlelight Concerts!*
We have received your overwhelming reception for our ballet shows of 'Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake & more', and we have exciting news for you! 🩰
Our ballet concerts will be resuming in January, on the evenings of the 27th and 28th at Victoria Theatre!
If you have missed out this beautiful programme in Nov and Dec last year, come down for a magical evening of enchanting movements and incredibly moving music from 'Swan Lake', 'Nutcracker' and more! 🎻

*This will also mark my Swan Song (pun 100% intended) with this project due to scheduling conflicts. I hope that you'll be able to join us in this intimate and wonderful evening of live music and dance!
