Students showcase brilliant dance performances competing for Jhankaar 2022 titles

GIIS’ SMART Campus hosted the much-awaited annual dance competition, Jhankaar ‘Dancing like the Stars’ on August 26 amidst much cheer and enthusiasm. The competition witnessed huge participation of students from 9 international schools across Singapore showcasing their prowess in various dance forms. 

The Primary division of the school hosted the event physically, after a hiatus gap of two years wherein students from international schools such as National Public School, Yuvabharathi International School, Middleton International School, GIG International School, Kindle Kids International School, and Wise Oaks International School participated.  

The competition was classified into four categories namely; sub junior, junior, sub senior, and senior. The participants in the sub junior category performed under the theme freestyle solo and freestyle group, whereas, for the other three categories the students got the option to participate in classical and freestyle themes. The participants went through several vigorous rounds of the selection process with a total of over 265 participants reaching the finale. On the day of the finale, the performance by the specially-abled students from The Guild International College won the hearts of everyone present. 

The spirit of Jhankaar stitched various stages of the competition together and after difficult and careful deliberation, the team of esteemed and professional judges declared the names of the winners. The judges of the sub junior and junior categories were Ms Chitra Shankar, Ms Nayantara Parpia, and Ms Vicknesvari Vadivelagan, on the other hand, Ms Gayatri Sriram, Ms Jyotika Joshi, and Mr Anil Dandge judged the performances of the students in the rest of the categories. Overall it was a fruitful event and the amount of hard work put in by the participants showcasing their talent in different dance forms is noteworthy.  

GIIS strongly believes in the holistic development of its students and encourages them to explore their talent and skills beyond the boundaries of their classrooms. Platforms like this, which is in line with one of GIIS’ 9 GEMS, The Visual and Performing Arts, allow the students to enhance their skills and carve a niche for themselves in the field of performing arts.
