Dance Venia

Orientation Performance 2021 

Dance Venia was formed at ACS (Independent) in 2005. In its name, ‘Venia’ is a Latin word meaning ‘In God’s Grace’. Unlike other dance groups, we do not specialize in any one form of dance, choosing instead to cross-train and expose our members and the wider school community to various forms. Training with top choreographers in Singapore, to date, we have endeavoured forms such as Hip Hop, Jazz, Contemporary, Modern, Cultural, Cha-Cha, Jive, Samba, Salsa, Ballet and even Water Ballet. From 2021, membership is open for students from Year 1.

Dance Venia is an active member of the school family, we perform annually for the Year 1 Performing Arts Showcase, Chinese New Year Celebration, Year 5 CCA Fair, Open House and other school Events. Biannually, Dance Venia also puts up a full concert for the Festival of Arts.
