Jointly organised by Chingay Parade Singapore and FitnessArts Pte. Ltd, D:2 (Dynamic and Diversity) Dance Competition is one of Chingay’s Community Engagement Programme which serves as a platform for youth dancers of all genre to express their creativity by fusing Singapore’s local traditional dance cultures into their dance moves.

The word Chingay is equivalent to the Mandarin word 妆艺 (Zhuang Yi) which means the art of costume and masquerade in the Hokkien dialect. Here in Singapore, the Chingay Parade started in 1973 as a street parade to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Since then, it has evolved into an annual iconic event that showcases Singapore’s rich and unique multi-ethnic and cosmopolitan cultures. The annual event is characterised by vibrant performers in elaborated costumes from different ethnicity, cultures and backgrounds; dazzling display of floats; huge intricate props and structures; and cultural performances from all around the world.

Chingay now owns the reputation as one of Asia’s largest street performance and float parade, a colourful epitome of the country’s multi-cultural society.
