Dance Day

13:00-17:00
Tsuen Wan Town Hall & Tsuen Wan Park
Free admission

Event Advisor: Andy Wong

The main theme of the Dance Day this year is 'Collaboration'.  Hand in hand, dancers work closely with each other, to break the boundary, to enjoy new experience together and to show their dynamic facet.  

Similar to previous Dance Days, Dance Day 2018 will showcase different generations of local dance talents.  Veteran and emerging dance artists, professional and amateur dance groups will join hands with different social groups to give a wide variety of delightful and exhilarating dance performances and activities at Tsuen Wan Town Hall & Tsuen Wan Park.   Renowned local choreographer/ dancer, Andy Wong is invited to be the advisor for the event.

Moreover, participatory activities such as workshops and exhibition will be organized.  There will also be the 'U Can Dance!' Free Dancing Zone where everyone is welcome to join in and enjoy the fun of dancing.
