Dance troupe withdraws from Chingay 2021 after dancers face 'cyberbullying' over tap dance segment

SINGAPORE: A dance troupe has withdrawn from Chingay 2021, following online criticism of its dancers who were slated to take part in the parade.

The People's Association (PA) said on Monday (Dec 28) in a joint statement with Dance Spectrum International (DSI) and Singapore Wushu Dragon & Lion Dance Federation (SWDLDF) that the segment was scrapped "in consideration of the young dancers affected by cyberbullying".

According to 8world News, Chingay 2021 was to feature 100 lions in a four-minute lion dance performance, with five lions manned by dancers from DSI.

The 10 dancers were supposed to tap dance in tutus while donning lion dance costumes, while the rest of the performers will be in traditional costumes.

However an online post shared by DSI featuring the dancers, aged between 14 and 30, drew online criticism and the three groups met separately over the week to "find ways to resolve the matter".

"All three parties also agreed that while we welcome different views on artistic expression, we do not condone online hurtful remarks and personal attacks on individuals posted on social media," said the joint statement posted on the PAssion Chingay Club Facebook page.

Hmm... seems like this dance school is owned by hardcore Christians.

Does it have connections to any PAP grassroots people? I doubt it was randomly picked for Chingay, and to collaborate with traditional lion dance.

Putting Bible verses everywhere on your business social media account... that is quite hardcore.

I don't understand all this "cyberbullying" shit. If you don't want to be "cyberbullied" all you have to do is stay off social media.

I have never been cyberbullied in my life because I'm not in cyberspace.

This forum not considered cyberspace?

I think you have had your fair share of being bullied and bullying others as well.

I get bullied all the time everywhere. You can't avoid being bullied as long as you are alive.

Even if you go to the mountains you could come across a bear who would bully you. Or a wild boar also bully you.

Or the rain give you a real washing down bully.

This forum is cyberspace but I'm not in this forum. Instead I use my alter-ego "Samuel Leong" to interact with others on the net. He's a tough guy and is not the slightest bit affected by all the negativity and hatred directed towards him.

Actually this place is a good self ground to be the hunter and as well to be hunted.

Only for the creative people who can read users mind like Glockman.

U hv to be like coconut tree.

First time u join in u are straight. Then u start to sway left or right. That is B's here and there.

Then as u change from a hunter to be hunted start to bend under, over or side.

Finally u grow nuts...
