Professional development is critical to the growth of dancers, choreographers and coaches. However as the urban dance sector in South Asia is still at its growth stage, the number of veteran urban dance coaches is still limited and so are master classes and experiences.

Dana Foglia, a veteran in the LA (United States) dance scene started a 3-month programme mentorship since 2013. Annually 25 dancers are selected via audition from all the around the world to participate in the programme.

Singaporean dancer Clarice Ng was part of the programme in 2013, Loy Xue Hui and Hu Peizhen were selected for the programme in 2015 and 2017 respectively.

All 3 dancers had experienced tremendous growth in their body awareness, dance technique and performance quality. Their growth was evident to both their local dance mentors and also their fans/students.

To contribute towards professional development for the urban dance sector in Singapore. O School had reached out to Dana to conduct a 3-week (24 September - 12 October 2018) programme in Singapore. An audition would be conducted and a total of 25 Singaporean dancers would be selected by Dana for the programme.

Contributions to this campaign would be used to offset a portion of the programme expenses ($20,000 in all) and in turn lower the price point for the development programme. We hope that most deserving dancers would be able to benefit from this programme, regardless of their financial abilities.
