About Us
Music and Dance Society (MAD) first started in 1974 with contemporary dance before diversifying to include other dance genres. At present, it comprises 3 divisions, namely Modern, Hip-hop, and Bboy (or breakdance).
a big thankyou to all those who came down all the way to poolside to audition last wednesday! we're really sorry that we can only accept a certain amount of people, due to the constraints of the size of our practice venue and we really can't handle too many people. anyway, here's the official list of people who're in(:

BBOY AUDITIONS!
hey j1s! bboy auds are coming on this friday! the format would be something like this!
First Round:
We will be testing you all on the basics that our instructor, bboy boy taught you all. As long as you all are able to execute the move, you all would be able to move on to the second round of the auditions. so train hard on the basics!
Second Round:
All of you would be forming a cypher. A cypher is when everybody forms a circle with a person dancing in the middle of it. Each person need to enter the cypher once to do their own sets. After everyone has entered the cypher, it would be free-for-all. Meaning that anyone who wants to enter the cypher can enter the cypher. You can enter with a friend, or enter alone, up to you. After that, you all are done and can go home =D Results will be released at a later date.
More information about our auditions:
Time: 17 00 - 19 30
Place: Salt Center 3rd Floor Dance Studio
People: YOU!
SOME F.A.Qs
Q: I didnt sign up for auditions. But can I still come for bboy auditions?
A: Yes! you can just come on the day itself and auditions. no need to sign up beforehand.
Q: How many people are you all accepting into bboys this year?
A: As long as we think you can make it, you can get into bboy. so just come down and audition!
Q: Can I have another CCA apart from MAD?
A: Preferably not. MAD is very taxing already. so unless you think you can cope and come down for bboy trainings, it is STRONGLY advised not to.
Q: I don't have any previous dance experience. Do I stand a chance?
A: ITS OK! many of us came to auditions last year without any previous experience in dance. As long as you work hard and train well whatever bboy boy has taught you all, its fine to come here and give it a shot.
Q: Wa but I shy leh? Somemore must do in front of so many people...
A: ITS OK! no one will be laughing at you as everyone would be as nervous as you! so just come down and remember what you want to do and JUST DO IT! =D
Q: but i zhapor thn bboy alot of guys. how?
A: this is really not a problem at all! bgirls have their own style compared to guys. so dont feel inferior or lousy when you compare yourself to them! you are good in things that many of them are not good in. =D
Q: can i be in more than one div!
A: for this year, i dont think its possible. As it is very difficult to master two vastly different dances and cope with studies at the same time. So we would only allow you to join one div this year. You all would be given the chance to choose which div you are more interested in joining.
yup anymore questions! you all can put in the tagboard! if not try to contact weisheng! can ask around those who came for open class. i think they have!
so jiayou and have fun! =D
BBOY DIVISION =D
