Late Singaporean ballet trailblazer honoured at US festival

Motivation FOR Performers

Goh is an inspiration to many dancing, yet now, according to Singapore Ballet Principal Dancer Kwok Min Yi.

” His tone, his dance, that’s the core of our business. Every performer who has walked through (our ) windows may have learned his dance”, she told CNA.

It’s really important for me because of the leader in our society because I’ve been watching his dance since I was a young child.

Goh was his best friend, according to Singapore Ballet creative producer Janek Schergen, and he would have been delighted to see what his reputation has produced.

” I’m very pleased that ( the tribute ) is happening because he was the person who broke the race barrier. Nothing can change that. He was the first Asian dancer in traditional ballet”, he said. &nbsp,

The creation of Singapore Ballet was inspired by Goh’s profession, and his dance are a wealth, Schergen said recently. &nbsp,

ASIAN REPRESENTATION&nbsp,

The event aims to provide an outlet for Asians and Asian-Americans who represent nations in nations like Singapore, Japan, and the Philippines.

” I thought it was truly wonderful to view a variety of different cultures on stage, and to learn from Asians themselves, Eastern choreographers themselves, how fascinating it is to them to feel represented. I thought it was great”, said one crowd part.
