After the great success of HSDC 2015 – 2023, we are pleased to bring you the ‘High School Dance Competition 2024’ (HSDC 2024). This year we are excited to announce that HSDC 2024 will run in conjunction with the Primary School Dance Competition 2024 (PSDC 2024). *Tentative date: 31st August 2024 – Please note that the venue and dates are subject to change in light of COVID-19.
HSDC is a freestyle dance competition aimed at encouraging students to participate in activities beyond learning. It is a platform that promotes teamwork, boosts confidence levels, and inspires students to connect culturally through the art of dance.
HSDC is a fun and great way to meet new friends and develop essential social skills through interaction with other students. Group choreography fosters teamwork, communication, trust, and cooperation. HSDC believes that through this competition, students will have an opportunity to develop important life skills, such as discipline, confidence, self-esteem, and focus. One of the greatest benefits of dance is that it sparks a student’s imagination and uniquely nurtures individual creativity.
HSDC 2020 was held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are excited to be bringing back HSDC in person bigger and better! This also comes with strict restrictions and compliance with many rules; however, we hope to work together with schools and participants for a spectacular show.
Competition theme:
HSDC is a freestyle dance competition. The performance can be choreographed in any dance style. However, to bring an aspect of culture and learning into the competition, our theme is based around ‘Bollywood.’ The theme must be incorporated with the usage of a Bollywood song (minimum 30 seconds; the HSDC team can help with this segment as well as the rest!). We recommend students also think about costumes and other creative ways to incorporate the theme.
The rest of the dance outside the minimum 30-second song requirement can be choreographed in any style, and any music can be used. We encourage students to be as creative as possible and, of course, ask our team for any help!
HSDC 2024 will be held in person. Registrations close on Sept 15th!
More information is available on the ‘Competition Info’ tab.
