Dance Society

Welcome to the BDS Dance Society! In this CCA, you will experience the grace and elegance of Chinese dance, while enriching your cultural knowledge, engaging with a diverse community, and exploring creativity and innovation. To add to that, we are a dynamic community that is passionate not only in Chinese dance but also in other contemporary dances. We offer a supportive environment for both beginners and seasoned dancers. Join us in this journey of self-expression and cultural discovery, fusing tradition and modernity in the art of dances. Using the vision of 4Es – Experience, Enrich, Engage and Explore to plan our programmes, BDS Dance Society promises to develop its members holistically. To allow students to explore and enhance their passion in dance, programmes such as watching professional arts groups performances have been planned. CCA leaders also attend the annual Ampliefied!DanceLab organized by the Arts Education Branch. This helps them to explore their passion in dance as they interact with other students and professionals during this two-day course.
