1. Develop a cadre of tutors and tutoring disciplines that can be widely administered throughout the national community in a focused, structured and standardized format;
2. Provide a vibrant competitive arena that can attract and retain the interest of aspiring dancers to pursue national, regional and international competitions in the medium to long-term;
3. Develop a pathway to higher achievement through high skilled and challenging Competitive and Championship Events;
4. To create a fertile ground for advance learning and competitive skills development of dance athletes towards professional, competitive and performance dance disciplines;
5. To ultimately create an equal opportunity environment for the most talented among, and for, our community athletes to access and challenge themselves to compete at international and Olympic levels.
We believe that this programme and the planned activities will be a seed that can significantly contribute to widespread popularity and interest among community youths and young adults in the various cultural and professional dance disciplines.
