Had Some POPpin’ Good Fun?
February 16th, 2010 by CNY CommitteeHey Hwa Chong! Hope you’ve spent the break well resting and gearing up for the rest of the school term (and collecting those precious Ang Baos)! Time to recount the events on your last Friday!
12th February was definitely a day of joy and excitement. With our very own Hwa Chong Chinese New Year Celebration, 花舞, attracting the young and the slightly older ( sorry seniors) alike in a fit to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year.
Citygate: CANDY with a tinge of manga.
But in any case, students and seniors alike decked the corridors of the wings and 天堂, adding to the touch of liveliness the day presented.
The morning was packed with exciting performances courtesy of our Lion Dance, Choir, Chinese Orchestra, Chinese Dance Society and the Music And Dance Society and Wushu!
Our emcees: Xueyan & Zeyu
HC Choir completes the SMILE! Don’t you see one!
HC Chinese Dance at their best again
With a pleasantly surprising performance from our Music And Dance Society!
Wushu: the valour package.
Make that a precision and top-class one as well. 
With the street market following the performances, Hwa Chongians experienced a festival that is worth remembering in every right.
A fair wih the undiscounted creativeness of our students.
The mass Lao Yu Sheng was the highlight of the event, with everyone crowding around their own class benches ( or stalls) and lo hei for a more prosperous new year. The FEEL of Hwa Chong family was in everyone’s bones.
Go, teachers!
CNY Celebration, 花舞, came to a splendid end with the sun beaming brightly on the red tiger in the middle of central plaza, casting a brilliant shadow of Red, Blue, Green and Yellow.
We could not ask for a more apt build-up as the atmosphere paved the way for the explosiveness of what was to come:
POP 2010!
One by one each faculty immersed themselves in 3 minutes of bliss, giving full vent to their dazzling moves, drawing incessant cheers from the entire plaza and wings.
Ahh-hooooot!!!
Bullgirls and bullguys unite!
Ahh-whoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Dancing God of War
The best faculty may have been crowned by our judges, but you guys know that the best dance is one that entails soul and sweat. You did it, together, J1s!
What’s a party without SODACHE?! Here we go again! Get you mind set, and have a wild, wild time!
The very vibrancy of our school.
One Hwa Chong, as always, and forever!

It’s BACK AGAIN!
May 26th, 2009 by CCA PROLast year, they awed you with their moves and shook the stage.
They promised to return the next year.
THIS year, they’re BACK AGAIN!!! The Chinese Dance Society and the Music and Dance Society have collaborated as they have for the last 4 years to bring you more than an hour of thrills, adrenaline, and slick moves that blew you away. They’ve rehearsed, again, and again, and again; they’ve probably spent hours visualizing their moves on bus trips, in their sleep, and they’ve sweat it out in studios, over weeks of preparation, just to bring you, Hwachong’s very own…
DANCE NIGHT 2009
This year, all performances/items are linked together by a ficitonal account of two HC lovebirds.
With the dances suggesting a local and Hwachong context, the performances were very much close to heart.
Remember the female voice on the MRT PA system?
Presenting… the grace and elegance of the Chinese Dance Society.
You’ll never play alone, or swim alone, for that matter.
And let your dreams carry you on.
Ohhhhhh. A rose speaks a thousand painful words.
At peace.
Now we know what students do during detention.
Emotionally arresting.
The costumes and formations never fail to astound us.
Featuring… the breakin’ scene in Hwachong!!!
Their efforts were never in vain, as our audience savoured and appreciated every moment of it.
All pumped up.
Looks like we’ve bred some talented JabbaWockeeZ in Hwachong!
One more time. With flair.
And an exuberant finale to sum up the night.
Whether you were with your besties, BFFs, boyfriends, girlfriends, bros, sisters, papa, mama, teachers, or random schoolmates, there was never a doubt about the atmosphere, and what it promised to deliver. From the day the announcement was made on the bridge, from the time you filled up your CT order forms, to the stuffy entrances you made into the auditorium, everyone was prepared to immerse themselves in the spirit of dance.
Well, we can’t possibly leave out our on-stage couple, can we? Yes, emphasis on ON-STAGE.
To all supporters, students, guests from other schools, and teachers, and principals, we thank you for making this possible. Even the numerous, ever-resourceful and ever-enthusiastic crashers are to be commended for their unwavering support.
Many thanks to our dedicated photographers who spent the nights snapping away for our viewing pleasure, especially Zhong Wei and Daryl for supplying the photos for this article!
Of course, not forgetting our heroes behind the scenes: Mr Dan Kwoh, AnAn, Felix Huang, Ms. Yang JingFeng and Ms Chen Phi Fern! Last but not least, the AVA personnel and lightings I/Cs! Your expertise and professionalism was what made this possible!
This year, they delivered.
Next year, they’ll be BACK AGAIN!!!

SYF Report: Chinese Dance
April 23rd, 2009 by CCA PROAfter months of grueling practices, injuries and sleep deprivation, the Chinese Dance Society performed their SYF piece <<武陵春。梦>> on the esteemed stage of the University Cultural Centre on Wednesday, 22nd April 2009. They faced tough competition from 64 other schools, but were able to clinch Hwa Chong’s very first Gold With Honours Award this year.
They would like to thank the school management and their teachers-in-charge, 张老师 and 刘老师 for their guidance, the Calligraphy Club for their help with the props, as well as MAD for their compromises. Finally, they would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to their instructor, 杨老师, without whom it would have been impossible to achieve this honour.
If you would like to catch their SYF piece, do get your tickets for Dance Night ’09 Back Again!

In past weeks, this bevy of dancers has indubitably sacrificed much time and effort in honing their skills and synchronizing every step to the correct beat. Boasting 27 passionate dancers who wield the spirit of breaking boundaries, Hwa Chong Chinese Dance is all geared to put up a spectacular show. Under the tutelage of Madam Yang Jing Feng, an alumnus of the renowned Beijing Dance Academy, these dancers have no doubt set eyes on bringing home the highest honour achievable!
