URBAN VIBE, a street dancing group under Studio Scene, a school of performing arts, turns two years this month.
The school founded by Director Patricia in February 2006, added street dance to the studio's list of dance disciplines in 2007 for children and teens who do not have the fundamentals of classical training to express themselves through dance.
In its quest to get more students from diverse backgrounds involved in street dancing, the studio has conducted several auditions to find those with potential to train. To date, sixteen scholarships have been given by Studio Scene and with this Urban Vibe was born.
The scholars were given rigorous training in dance where they learned technique, style, musicality and discipline. The hard work that Urban Vibe has put in has resulted in numerous performances, all of which have been well received by the audience and this is evident by the number of requests to perform in functions organised by various organisations. They have also received sponsorships in terms of clothing and make-up by "Ego" and The Body Shop.
There have been members who have left the group over the years but at the same time others have been recruited. Today, Urban Vibe is stronger with more talented members and looks forward to performing for more events and functions in Brunei.
Studio Scene aims to provide a healthy lifestyle for young children who wish to discover their talents in dancing. The studio currently offers various dance disciplines such as classical ballet, theatrical and tap, jazz ballet, pre-school tap and jazz, ballroom (standard and latin dancing), Malay traditional and other dance styles. On top of this, it also offers health and wellness programmes such as yoga, pilates and yogilates. While it focuses mainly on the younger generation, it also caters to the older generation who enjoy dancing and fitness programmes as a hobby. (DMS)
