Career
 

Singapore Chinese Dance Theatre (SCDT), formerly known as the Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan Dance Troupe, was established in 1990 under the Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan (SHHK). In 2013, SCDT was awarded the Seed Grant by the National Arts Council (NAC). With strong support from SHHK, it became a professional dance company in 2014. Since 2016, SCDT has been receiving funding under the NAC's Major Company scheme, underscoring its vital role in promoting and developing Chinese dance in Singapore. The company continuously strives for artistic and creative excellence, aiming to scale new heights in the Chinese dance scene.

Using dance as a medium to inspire, nurture and connect, SCDT is dedicated to exploring and developing Singapore’s identity in Chinese dance. It blends traditional Chinese dance with contemporary elements, enriching the art form and amplifying its impact. Guided by this mission, SCDT has presented 10 full-length performances in Singapore over the past decade and showcased its works internationally in countries such as Australia, Cambodia, Canada, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, and Viet Nam.

SCDT is also committed to nurturing the next generation by creating platforms for youth engagement and development. Through a diverse range of programmes, SCDT aims to cultivate higher-level artistic practitioners, thereby advancing Chinese dance in Singapore and inspiring future talents.

Due to our ongoing expansion, we warmly invite passionate individuals to join our growing company.
