The Indian Dance CCA aims to help develop and nurture the pupils holistically. Apart from exposure to Indian culture and different styles of Indian dance, the CCA also provides opportunities to the pupils to acquire self-confidence, determination, resilience, a sense of responsibility and the ability to work with others. With these qualities and disposition which align with the school values, we hope to equip them to succeed for life.

Our Indian Dance CCA had the exciting opportunity to perform at both Dance Extravaganza and Senses in 2024, where we took our art out into the public and shared it with a broader audience. The experience was made even more special as we collaborated on choreography and costume ideas, allowing each of us to bring our unique perspectives and creativity to the performances. These events highlighted our teamwork and commitment, and we are proud to have represented our school with passion and dedication.
