The Royal Dance-Off (TRDO)Choreographing a New World |
 Has a single thought ever struck your mind, one so strong that it seemed to grip you by the very possibility that it could be fulfilled? A thought so inspiring, it created the force driving your every move. You may ask, what could be this powerful? Simply put, it is an unwavering steadfast belief in the idea that we could all be agents of change and we can transform the world with passion. By ‘we’, I mean … youths. That is essentially what The Royal Dance-Off (TRDO) is all about. Incepted in 2011, TRDO is a youth-centric initiative. It was started by a team of dedicated youths as a gateway for young dancers to reconnect with dance techniques that were misconceived as outdated. TRDO seeks to repackage this ‘old’ language to appeal to today’s youths such that they may absorb the richness of Contemporary dance and recreate new body languages. In fact, TRDO’s direction for Contemporary dance revolves around the notion of reinvention – something new and current that speaks of our present times. As Founder Ryan Tan would say, “TRDO exists in the middle of a crossroad” – bridging the old and the new with youths possibly enriching the brighter path ahead. In addition, TRDO is fuelled by a mission to nurture youths towards compassion and empathy for the community and society. This is the kind of empowerment that TRDO would like to present to the youths, enlarging their aspirations and encouraging them to use Dance as a medium to accomplish greatness. Last year, TRDO was graced with the support of some of Singapore’s favourite dance personalities in the technical dance scene. This includes Jeffrey Tan, Silvia Yong, Zaini Mohammad Tahir, Wee E-Chiing, amongst others. Not only did they communicate a wealth of technical dance knowledge, they also inspired the participants by sharing their rich experience, exuding an unwavering passion for dance. Similarly, in TRDO Chapter 2 this year, the whole community is looking forward to an attractive lineup of judges and instructors for the competition and workshops.
