Dances in Singapore

Celebrating diversity through dance

Singapore is a delightful melting pot of various cultures and traditions, which can be ideally experienced in the heart of the lion city state, and it is also home to great hotel deals in Singapore that allows one to creatively cut corners. Guests seeking a 3 star hotel in Singapore will find great value for their money at the Days Hotel Singapore. Its central location close to great shopping, business and cultural events makes it the ideal choice when visiting Singapore on a budget without sacrificing quality, comfort and convenience.

Singapore’s diverse ethnic make-up makes it the ideal city to experience multiculturalism, which is best expressed through the creative medium of dance. The country provides an avenue for each of its different cultures, rich in tradition and heritage, to celebrate what makes them unique members of the Lion City. The beautiful Bharatanatyam tradition is celebrated as a vibrant “dance of fire”, where the performers assume statuesque poses in the best representation of fire via the human form. The Sri Srinivasa Temple in Little India features dance performances organized by the Singapore Indian Fine Arts Society, so catch one of these mesmerizing performances if possible. In homage to Chinese culture, the Lion Dance is performed in Chinatown during the eve of the Chinese New year and is an exciting, pugilistic performance full of vibrant colour and exciting movements. Catch this dance and enjoy the lighting up of the Chinatown Street at the same time. Sri Warisan is a wonderful Malay dance company formed in 1997 and is famous for its blend of the traditional and contemporary worlds of dance. The performances are featured locally and internationally and are not to be missed, featuring more than 30 professional dances and more than 200 student dancers. ECNAD – dance spelled backwards – is the country’s premier contemporary dance studio that combines creative services, artistic development and education to create forward-thinking works.
