The day started very early at 5.30 am, with the teachers getting the girls ready for the Beijing International Youth Chinese Dance Competition.

The teachers had to help the girls in applying their make-up and tying up their hair into neat buns in order to look their best when they performed on stage.

After a quick breakfast, we were off to the Beijing School of Music and Dance for the competition. When we arrived, we joined the other participants in the dry run. Here we are on stage at the end of the dry run.

Our girls were in the Group category, together with the other 3 schools from Singapore, namely Bukit Panjang Primary, Mayflower Primary and Compassvale Primary and a few other Beijing schools.

Although the competition was very keen, our girls did their very best and put in much effort in the rehearsal and the actual performance.

 

Their hard work all these months paid off as our girls garnered the Gold Award in the competition!

In the evening, we visited Beijing Huguang Guidl Hall, a small museum with exhibits pertaining to Chinese opera, before going to watch an acrobatic show.

Well done girls, we are indeed very proud of you!
