Season Preview: MAD!

Music and Dance Society (MAD) is a dance society set up back in 1974, and has evolved with the times, through different forms to its current form. Currently, it comprises 3 divisions, namely Modern, Hip-hop, and Break. Our Modern Division has always achieved excellent results for the Singapore Youth Festival, and this year, it will be breaking new grounds, performing at the inaugural Asian Youth Games (AYG) Opening Ceremony in June. Participation on local dance competitions such as FUYO Inter-School 3v3 bboy championships, as well as Danceworks!, a local dance competition to raise awareness of the harms of drugs. We have also performed a charity event Tapestry, for a few years, as well as school events such as Open House and Teachers’ Day.

Boasting probably the best instructors around in Singapore in their respective genres, with Bboy Felix Huang as the instructor for the Break Division, Mr Dan Kwok as the instructor for the Modern Division, as well as An An from O School, for the Hip-hop Division. Currently, the aims for MAD are simple: to foster a group of dancers who are knowledgeable about every genre of dance, as well as to bring every dancer closer together so that we forge strong relationships with one another. As MAD continues to grow bigger in size, we strive to improve our standards and at the same time, creating opportunities for dancers from different genres to get to know one another better and thus appreciate other genres of dance as well.

This year, the Music and Dance Society promises to bring you more surprises, as it prepares for an all-new Dance Night 2009, a concert show held annually in collaboration with Chinese Dance since 2006. More details will be released soon, so do keep a lookout for Dance Night 2009 in Term 2!
