Rolypoly Family’s Junior Contemporary Dance Class is for children (aged 7-12) who love movement!
This is a creative contemporary dance class for boys, girls, and any child who enjoys dance, movement or acrobatics. In this nurturing environment, young dancers experience the endless creative possibilities of contemporary dance – floorwork, leaps and turns, gestures, going upside down, and a wide range of music, moods and dynamics.
Together, young dancers will practise physical drills and dance phrases, improvise, and create. This class nurtures young people into contemporary dance, encouraging all to make their own dances, push their own boundaries and imagination, and collaborate creatively. We also use acrobatic and partnering material, teaching different handstands, cartwheels and movement material that excite young dancers.

Led by dance artists Faye Lim and Bernice Lee, Rolypoly Family dance projects and programmes support the artistic, creative and social-emotional learning of young children and their families. We are a team of dance artists brought together by our intuitive and responsive movement practices and our dedication to children’s creative genius. We bring dance performances, workshops, exhibitions and other experiences to diverse children and families.We partner groups and organisations across Singapore, such as community groups, social service organisations, arts groups and institutions, and government agencies.
As performing and teaching artists, we bring to our programmes our expertise in facilitation, training in pedagogy, and of course, experience in and passion for dance, movement improvisation and performance. Our name is a statement of our beliefs – that families come in all shapes and sizes, that kinship can grow through creative and physical play (yes, rolling!), and that rhyming is as fun in language as in dance.
