Mexico Lindo Mexican Ballet
Recommended by the Mexican Embassy in Singapore,

the Mexico Lindo Mexican Ballet will showcase

dances from the two main regions in Mexico,

namely from Jalisco and Veracruz. Jalisco is a very

colourful dance and the music is traditionally played

by mariachi, and Veracruz is a region of Mexico close

to the sea where the Spanish first arrived and took Mexico.

The dances are influenced by Flamenco.

Pinoy Star Tinikling Troupe

"Tinikling" involves two people hitting bamboo

poles on the ground and against each other in coordination

with one or more dancers who step over and in between

the poles in a dance. It originated in Leyte among the

Visayan islands in central Philippines as an imitation of

the tikling bird. Pinoy Star Dance Troupe will showcase the

tinikling dance and will include an audience interactive segment.

Singapore Dance Theatre

With extracts from The Nutcracker, SDT will mesmerize

audiences with their smooth ballet moves and stage costumes.

In this enchanting fairytale ballet that is set in a joyous
Christmas eve's occasion, The Nutcracker is a light-hearted tale

of adventure and courage featuring Clara and her adventures

after she receives a beautifully-crafted nutcracker

doll from Dr Drosselmeyer.
