DHARMA's DOUBLE CELEBRATION

Dharma posing with victory

On the 7th of July, DHARMA sent out dancers from Year Ones and Twos to perform at Muara Dance Festival 2012. A total of 18 groups, including primary schools, secondary schools and institutions were given this opportunity to perform at this extravagant event. The show was held at Esplanade Outdoor theatre, from 3pm onwards. Being the last item on stage, we were the closing performance of the show. DHARMA performed an item called ‘Tiga Serangkai’, which consists of Asli, Inang and Joget moves. This was also the item that we brought to Solo Indonesia during our School Overseas Trip.



A week after that, DHARMA sent in 12 girls to compete in 2012 Fiestari 10th Anniversar held on 14th July 2012 at Cheng San CC. They prepared an item that portrays the gracefulness and elegance of a woman.




Choreographed by Cikgu Fathurrahman bin Said, this dance, also known as “Sinarai Gemalai” (means Rays of Gracefulness), flaunts the strength, rigidity, perseverance, sacrifice, devotion of a woman with an essence of suppleness. For the results, we’re pleased to announce that DHARMA managed to come in as First Runner Up! Alongside the rest of the winners are East Spring Secondary who won Second Runner Up and NYP as the champion.
