Classical favourites, neo-classical masterpieces, and cutting-edge contemporary works form the three pillars of most major ballet companies around the world. As Singapore’s largest professional dance company, SDT continues to nurture talents within our stable of dancers who are equally adept at all three genres. Whether it is the romanticism of Swan Lake or the pageantry of The Nutcracker, the ageless artistry of Balanchine’s Concerto Barocco, or the edgy aesthetics of newer pieces like Jorma Elo’s Glow-Stop, SDT dancers stand out on stage each and every time.

It is no wonder then, that recent reviews in international dance publications like Dance Europe have used words like “effervescent“ and “exuberant“ to describe the Company and our dancers. When we perform an eclectic triple bill programme, critics and audiences alike have been known to wonder if they had just witnessed three different companies in action. We will continue to work towards becoming the epitome of versatility, and, as expressed in our Company’s mission statement, to become world-renowned “for our unique ability to shine in classical, neo-classical, and contemporary repertoire with works that are timeless and inspiring.”

The Singapore Dance Theatre (SDT) was founded in 1988 by Goh Soo Khim and the late Anthony Then. Under the directorship of Goh Soo Khim, SDT developed into a premier professional dance company that grew from seven to 24 dancers. Each year, the Company performs five to six seasons, including the widely popular Ballet under the Stars (BUTS) at the Fort Canning Park. With the appointment of Janek Schergen as Artistic Director in January 2009, the Company is poised for new achievements in the international and Singapore dance arena. Janek is also the Artistic Director of the Choo-San Goh & H. Robert Magee Foundation which oversees the licensing and production of Choo San Goh's ballets and the annual Choo San Goh Awards for Choreography.
