And all these will be taking place from 2nd September to 8th September.

Genres that will be taught are: Basic Hip Hop, Lvl 2 Hip Hop, L.A. Hip Hop, Lyrical Hip Hop, Girls' Hip Hop, House, Locking.

For the dance camp, ANYONE can sign up for it! Yes, anyone! You do not have to be a member of DreamWerkz to participate in this exciting event. Last year's camp was a complete success with overwhelming responses. Workshops conducted by dancers from external studios will take place, along with fun games, showcases and a whole bunch of friends to make!

DWZ's 1st ever production, DISCOVER

SIM DreamWerkz's first ever dance production, DISCOVER, is here!!!

We assure our audiences that the show would be nothing short of being spectacular and wonderful as it is being directed by only the best - Allegra and Xue Hui from O School!

Not only will the pieces shown be choreographed by these 2 O School instructors, but it will showcase the works of our very own dancers. Pieces shown will mainly be Hip Hop and Street Jazz, infused with many different styles and quirky/comical moves.

I have watched all the pieces myself and I assure you none of them lacks in showmanship or enthusiasm. Expect yourself to come out of the theatre in stitches and in awe *.*

Enough of my talking, here are the details

Date: 23/8/2013 & 24/8/2013 (Fri & Sat)
Time: 7.30pm (Doors open 7pm)
Venue: @ Scape Warehouse 

Price: $18/ticket

For ticketing information,
please contact Shermaine- 81386508 or Michelle - 94336113 

Of course, none of these could have happened without the generous sponsorship of Halogen and Scape who ever so kindly sponsored us the venue and O School who invested all the time and effort into us and never stopped believing that we would give a great show.

With that, we really hope to see you there and show your support for this growing club!

XOXO,
Shermaine 

Singapore Dance Delight 2013 Vol. 04

2012-2013 has been an exciting year for SIM DreamWerkz as we have been actively participating in competitions, sending out mainly 2 teams - WhateverWerkz and NewBornz.

However, during March 2013, we took part in one of the biggest, highly anticipated and most recognised dance competition in Singapore: Singapore Dance Delight.

 The amount of preparation put into this competition by both teams was tremendous. Not to mention, it was the first time we had to perform in front of such a large audience, getting judged by the world's renowned dancers. 

Fast forward to the actual competition day, everything we had ever imagined or pictured in our heads was amplified. The stage, the audience sitting, the competitors' skills... EVERYTHING!

Although we didn't manage to get past the preliminary stage, but all the effort and time put in had paid off because the experience we got was simply amazing and could never have been bought or traded for the world. It was, simply put, a once in a lifetime experience. Perhaps we weren't ready this time and our skills aren't up to par coupled by the fact that competition was stiff, but I believe one day DreamWerkz will be back on that stage again to wow the audience and make a name for our dance club. 

As long as we have the hunger to always improve ourselves, anything can happen.

Some prep and prayers to give us the strength.

 Whoever thought the guys could never be serious, here's proof of them dead serious and concentrating on the advice Xuehui had to give them on their performance.

& while some people claim the girls are all serious and no fun, here's a fun picture for you!

 Whatever New Bornz - Wilson

 Camwhores much?

With our highly respected mentors, Allegra and Xuehui!

 Plus all the lovely DWZ members who came down to support! :')

To get through a competition this intense, it would never have been possible without the help of people like:

Xuehui & Allegra, who constantly gave us feedback on our pieces and guided us along the way, never giving up on us and keeping us in their prayers.

DJ Trafflock aka Weixiang, who helped to mix our songs and was always on his tippy toes, ready to edit anything regarding our tracks anytime, yes even @ 3 in the morning.

Evon & Yifang, who came on the day itself (super early) to help us with our make up and hair 'cuz they knew we would never be able to do a better job than them :D

& of course, everyone who supported us (regardless of whether you were physically there), each and every one of you. So much love going on there... We are beyond touched!

Now you can watch us:

XOXO,
Shermaine Sng 'Ong Lai'

DWZ's First Ever Bonding

On the 24th of March, DreamWerkz Advance Team had its first ever bonding session @ Sentosa, Siloso Beach! What an exciting yet tiring day, not to mention the sun was relentless (if only you could see the sun burns everyone suffered at the end of the day).

It was planned and hosted none other than...

Shermaine aka Sng Ong Lai (pineapple)

and of course, Joel See.

The Itinerary was as follows:

1. Dig for the bomb

2. Dodge Ball

3. Wash Your Hair! 

4. Captain's Ball

5. Buried Alive

-Wash up time-

Everyone was split into 2 teams. Introducing...

 The very cheerful B-Bomb!

and...

 The very focused Paddlepop.

The games immediately kick-started on a high note:

Weiwei

Qi Yong

Rachel

Clement, cheating obviously.

The no-give-chance Ee Chin :'D

& thru' this bonding session, we discovered hidden talents, like....

Kin Nam the gold digger! (I'm sorry that you can't see his face. If you want to know how he looks like, there's always facebook)

Evon & Yifang

The Power Duo - Justin & Esther who took out 3-4 pairs

Ether & Kin Nam

 Wan Ling & Wilson

Some teamwork going on right there :)

 You know, just Felicia fooling around (as always hehehe)

When people are having fun, accidents do happen. 

I'm sorry the pictures stopped abruptly, or if you were waiting to be tagged in the rest of the photos, it never came. My camera went swimming in the sea~~ :'(

In DreamWerkz, we value camaraderie with utmost importance. There will definitely be more of such outings in the future.

Till then!

Cheers,

Shermaine
