Henderson 35th Anniversary Concert @ Esplanade

The Modern Dance Club had performed two dance items in the 35th Aniversary Concert at the Esplanade. They are Legend and Spirit of Evolution.

Legend is a dance which reflects how every individual strives for excellence. It features individuals wanting to move to a higher level of innovativeness and teamwork.

Spirit of Evolution uses props and costumes innovatively. The unique music with an Asian flavour attempts to show the transition from traditional to the modern. The youths embrace changes positively, seize golden opportunities, and shine like stars.

Reflections on AYG combined prac

AYG COMBINED PRACTICE @ SRJC (REFLECTIONS)

Jolene Phua Sec 2

We went to SRJC for combined practices during the last three days of the March Holidays. We went there to practise our AYG dance. Although i am in the so-called 'Chicken Rice' group, but i am still happy to take part in it.

We have made some new friends from other schools and when we watched the video that Mr Dan had taken, i am happy to see that the dance is very nice.

And I know we can dance even better and the dance will be very nice if we practise and focus more!

Cindy Chong Sec 3

I feel that the 3 days practice at SRJC was enjoyable. I managed to make some friends from other schools too. I also found out that other schools have their dancing standard and they have many people in quantity. Although the JCs dancers are always infront/middle, they had shown us their dance quality. But there seem to be some problems with us as we don't know some steps that were decided finally. I hope that Mr Dan will teach us the final steps without neglecting anyone. The food there was superb compared to other box package food.

Overall, the combined practice was very fun and the dance that all of us performed in the school was nice too.

Celestine Tolentino Sec 1

My 3 days dance camp experience was fun. I realised that there were many other dancers out there who could dance so much better than us even when we thought we were good enough. I felt honoured to be representing henderson, together with the HSSMDC to be selected to perform in the AYG. Even if the sec1s were not that involved in the dance, we managed to get a few parts, which we were somewhat contented with, We got to see how others practise and discipline themselves and how hard they train and practised for the combined display. We also managed to get more experience and pick up a few good points from them. This combined practice was a great and fun-filled experience for me, and i would be looking forward to more of these activities.

Seah Jia Yin Sec 1

The reflections i am going to write today is about the 3 days of practice in SRJC. The other dancers from other schools were just brilliant! The prac might be tiring for me, but i really enjoyed it very much! I can see from the other dancers; the motivation in them and how they strive their best in the dance. They should be the role models for us. However, this does not stop me from dancing but instead, motivates me to work harder and strive for the best. I believe the other sec 1s will feel the same too. If we all work hard together as one, we can be able it do much more better than the other dancers in the schools. So whatever we do, we must strive our best to do it till the best!

Lydia Tan Sec 3

I expected dance combined to be a really tiring and stress one, but i was proved wrong. It turned out to be a really fun and exciting one. We got into our groups, and my group is a mixture of Henderson as well as NJC. Mr Dan did alot of changes to the steps, and the steps he taught us and the other schools were different. We have to quickly adapt to the changes as we might seem weird compared to the others. As usual, we have got the even and odd groups again. Even group steps changed the most, but everyone still continued to dance. On the second day, we completed all the formation and steps. we all danced as a whole group together and it turned out quite nice. It reminds me of SYFOC 08! Afterall, I really enjoyed myself during these three days.

Xin Ling Sec 2

During the three days (AYG combined prac) we had in SRJC, i strongly feel that we have much more to improve on in order to catch up with the other schools' dancers. They are not only good in their basic techniques, they are also good in their attitude and the way they dance. Compared to their schools, our school only have a small number of dancers. Their leadership skills were also very strong! After these three days, i have learnt that being a dancer, we have to discipline ourselves and also to have a strong team spirit together!

SYF photos

HELLO DANCERS,

This few months have been a pretty exciting & thrilling time for us together with the secondary 2 & 3 students participating in SYFOC. At first, when we first hear about the SYFOC henderson is going to take part in, we didn't take it seriously and never thought that it was so enjoyable. After massive practices in the school hall with the lantern and pole warriors, we finally took a step forward to go to Singapore Indoor Stadium. Most of us started to find it fun and enjoyable only then. The real excitement came when it's the preview show, everyone started to feel so high and there's so much cheering and stuff that peaks up our mood from all those waiting at SIS for our turn to perform. Well, GOOD TIMES ALWAYS PASSES QUICKLY, like in just a split of minute, it's the actual performance already. But, we are less nervous than we were during the preview show. But there's so many spectators watching HENDERSON, and the reputation is in our hands. Fortunately, everything went really well and the praises are all flooding around the whole singapore indoor stadium. Everyone started cheering for HENDERSON and we all kept hugging one another and running around the whole stadium like as if we won the world cup. We spent quite a long time waving to our henderson friends and also bode farewell. Mr Dan went unexpectedly high after the performance.He went around shouting with us and shouting the henderson cheer. After biding farewell to our dear henderson "fans", we went back to our rooms. We are all pleased by our performance and we did our utmost best in the performance. But everything ended so fast. Remembering how we start from the beginning till the performance day, it went up step by step. Though many of us broke down on this special and fabulous day, it will always be embraced in our mind as the time passes........

SYF opening ceremony 08

Honestly, when i first joined dance, i hated it. But after the SYF opening ceremony performance, i love dance. I'm happy that the SYF performance was a success. That was the biggest and most memorable day of my life. At the beginning of the SYF practice, i thought that it was a waste of time. But when i saw the preforming area in the indoor stadium, i knew it- how big it is going to be. The part that i love most was the finale, because there was Shawn Tok! Not mainly because of Shawn Tok, but because that the finale dance enjoyable. I feel very glad that audiences from our school said that ours is the best item among all the schools. I want to thanks all the teacher coordinators, Mr Dan and Mr Kiki Tay for making the item a success. I love you all! Flight of Splendour- the best performance ever.
