Our Story
Founded in 1995 by Ms Sharon Liew, Dance Spectrum International (DSI) aims to provide quality dance training to young and talented dancers with greater opportunities to perform and express their love for dance.
With an emphasis on giving back to society, DSI also actively participates in charitable causes and community performances. With the belief in embracing differences in people, DSI has organised many fund-raising concerts and included individuals with special needs to perform alongside their dancers.
DSI offers a diverse range of dance programmes in Ballet, Modern, Tap, and Contemporary Dance under the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) and Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) syllabi.
DSI students have competed and won at many international competitions such as the Genée International Ballet Competition, Janet Cram Awards (UK), International Ballet Grand Prix, RAD Dance Challenge, Canaan International Ballet Competition, World Ballet Grand Prix and the Asian Grand Prix Competitions.
In 2020, she also received the International Theatre Award from The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (ISTD) UK. This award is the highest level of recognition given to a teacher through their contribution for outstanding teaching and achievements.
She has also choreographed for numerous community performances like National Day Parade, President's Star Charity, and The Chingay Parade.
With a heart for the less fortunate, she is also an active supporter of special needs and has organised several charity concerts to raise funds for the Autism Resource Centre and Pathlight School.
As the Director of Dance Spectrum International, Sharon continues to teach with great passion, imparting her love for Ballet, Modern, Tap, and Contemporary Dance to her students as she continues to train her next generation of DSI teachers.
