Performing Arts: Dance Club

Overview

The NBSS Dance CCA, also known as Base Crew, is one of the few in Singapore that explores a diverse range of dance genres, with Hip Hop and Indian Dance as its two main branches. Every dancer in the CCA experiences both styles over their four to five years in NBSS while also being exposed to other genres such as multi-ethnic dance, lyrical and street jazz.

Our Dance Club aims to nurture passionate and versatile dancers by providing them with opportunities to explore different dance forms. Through collaborations with external agencies and community organisations, students gain valuable exposure to the arts and deepen their appreciation of cultural diversity.

What We Do

Training Sessions: Tuesday: 3.00pm to 5.30pm (additional practices during competition and performance period)

Workshops & Learning Opportunities: Beyond technical skills, the CCA focuses on character development, leadership training, and values education.

Student Testimonials

"Leading the NBSS Dance CCA has been a challenging yet incredibly fulfilling experience. Managing a team of over 60 dancers taught me that leadership goes beyond giving instructions. It's about listening, supporting others, and setting a positive and fun example. Through practices and performances across genres like Hip Hop, Indian Dance, and more, I’ve grown not just in dance, but in confidence, patience, and communication. I learnt how to manage different personalities, handle pressure, and keep the team motivated. This journey has deepened my appreciation for cultural diversity and the value of teamwork. Furthermore, dance is an experience that I would never regret doing despite the hardships and difficulties showing a sense of resilience and determination. Being a student leader has helped me become more resilient, responsible, and open-minded—skills I know I’ll carry with me beyond NBSS. " - Joash Lim, Sec 4
