Practice Performing Arts School (PPAS) was founded in 1965 by choreographer/dancer Goh Lay Kuan and the late dramatist Kuo Pao Kun, both Cultural Medallion recipients.
It opened with the belief that arts education is an integral part of the total development of an individual. Through arts training, PPAS students are taught to take on life, not just examinations. Arts training will not only teach our young new creative skills, knowledge and techniques, but more importantly, develop interpretive capacity, build confidence, stir imagination, foster self-discipline, and offer useful entry points to a vast cultural heritage.
PPAS is the first non-profit performing arts institution registered with the Ministry of Education to teach dance and theatre in the English and Chinese language
For 18 years and above; conducted in Mandarin (Long Term Programme)
Cold Winds - Sword Dance
Under our very own Chinese Aerobics programme, PPAS has developed another unique fusion of martial arts, dance and callisthenics - Sword Dance! The course employs the colourful tradition of Chinese swordplay as a foundation to develop a series of exercises and dance sequences. These challenge a person's balance, distribution of weight, and harmony of movement with the sword as an extrapolation of the body.
No experience needed for beginners.
