Yale-NUS boasted two major dance societies: the Yale-NUS Ballroom Society was dedicated to Standard and Latin ballroom dancing, while the Society of Yale-NUS Dancers (sYNCd) was an umbrella organisation for Yale-NUS’ different dance groups, covered a range of dance styles such as Argentine Tango, Ballet, Bollybhangra, Contemporary, Dancehall, Hip Hop, Jazz Funk and K-Pop.
Both organisations provided instruction and rehearsal opportunities to help their members hone their skills, as well as showcases and competitions for them to show off what they’d learnt. Perhaps more importantly, they created close-knit and inclusive communities that welcomed all with an interest in dance.
The societies, and any other students interested in dance, made good use of the College’s Dance Studio with its full-length mirrors and harlequin cascade flooring, as well as a number of suitable practice rooms.
