Founded in 1980, The Hong Kong Children's Choir (HKCC) Dance Programme offers children opportunities to explore various dance styles as times have evolved. Initially, the curriculum included only ballet and Chinese dance, but now tap dance, jazz dance, and hip hop have been added, guiding members to express artistic emotions through body movements.
As a performing art, dance allows children to showcase their talents, and build confidence and team spirit. Over the years, they have participated in numerous significant performances#, including the Musical King of Singers and the Dance Gala, inspired by the painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival, The Dancing Gallery. Members have excelled in exams from institutions such as Beijing Dance Academy, Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), and Australian Teachers of Dancing (ATOD). In 2023, HKCC Youth Dance won a gold and a silver at the 51st Hong Kong Open Dance Competition.
HKCC Dance Programme actively participates in and hosts various dance exchange programs#, providing members with opportunities to interact with young dancers from around the world. These exchanges help improve their skills and yield rich learning outcomes. Since 2016, the Dance Programme has been part of the HKCC Art Experience Program, offering free tuition and subsidies for transportation and materials to low-income families, supporting students with a strong interest in dance from various backgrounds.
HKCC remains committed to nurturing each member with quality resources, aiming to ensure they enjoy learning, exchanging ideas, and performing, thereby injecting new life into Hong Kong's dance scene.
