Malay Dance

The AMKSS Malay Dance Group, known as Gemilang Sari, is a dedicated group of dancers passionate about promoting Malay dance and culture. This closeknit CCA aims to develop our members into poised and confident performers while fostering a sense of mutual care and support. Guided by the motto ‘Satu Hati, Satu Jiwa’ which means ‘One Heart, One Soul’ in English, we emphasise unity and shared passion in our artistic endeavours.

This year marked a significant milestone as we achieved the Distinction Award at the Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation, a testament to our dedication and artistic excellence. We also performed at various school events, including MTL Fortnight, Hari Raya Celebration, Awards Day, National Day and the AMKsian Showcase, providing numerous opportunities for us to showcase our talents.

Our commitment to excellence extends beyond the school as we participated actively in exchange programmes, festivals as well as workshops and through all these, we gained valuable exposure and learning opportunities. This year, we collaborated with Tampines Secondary School and Yuan Ching Secondary School, and gained meaningful experiences in our preparation for the Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation. Our dance leaders also took part in AMPLIFIED! DanceLab25: Youth Leadership Dance Camp organised by the Arts Education Branch, further developing their leadership and artistic growth. In addition, our dancers also had the honour of performing at the prestigious Muara Festival 2025 at the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre as part of the Muara Youth Development Programme. These programmes have honed our dance skills whilst instilling discipline, resilience, and camaraderie among members.

Beyond performances, we also actively engaged ourselves in community service through our Values in Action (VIA) programme, where we introduced preschool students from My First Skool to the beauty of Malay dance. These initiatives have helped develop our dancers’ leadership skills whilst fostering creativity through teamwork and cultural exchange.

In essence, Gemilang Sari is more than a dance group; it is a nurturing environment where members develop both their artistic talents and interpersonal connections whilst celebrating the rich heritage of Malay dance under our guiding motto of unity and collective passion.
