Artist Information

Ashrielle x Audrey

Ashrielle began her dance journey at 17, exploring a range of styles including hip hop, breaking, Girls’ Style, Open Style, and, in recent years, Afro. Her practice is shaped by a continual cycle of learning and unlearning, training across local and international contexts to expand her artistic voice.

 

She is currently a freelance dance instructor with O School, where she conducts classes on an ad-hoc basis.

 

Through her craft, Ashrielle strives to weave together different movement languages and explore expression beyond form – creating connections and recreating experiences through movement.

 

Audrey is a Singapore-based dancer, choreographer and educator whose work embodies flow and grooves, shaped by her training in African dance styles, hip hop and contemporary movement.

 

As a member of Xafroba, one of Singapore’s pioneering Afro dance crews, Audrey recently performed at Afro Dance Blast in London, a renowned international Afro dance event. She has also earned recognition in national competitions, including Super24 The Passionate Dancing Elders (Champion, 2018) and Remix Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (Champion, 2022).

 

Through her pieces and choreography classes, Audrey continues to nurture individuality and community—creating spaces where dancers can explore, grow and connect through movement.

Crescendo

Crescendo is a homegrown Singapore waacking team that first debuted in 2022 as part of a community initiative by Dada, BK and Sharlene (or more widely known as DBS), to grow the waacking scene locally.

 

The name “Crescendo” captures the core essence of the team. Much like a musical crescendo, each dancer’s unique voice and character is built upon one another; growing stronger and louder towards a unified peak and echoing their shared passion for the genre.

 

Crescendo has been competing in both local and international dance events such as Super 24, Lion City Dance Convention and World of Dance Thailand. Their goal is to proudly represent the Singapore waacking community on global stages while continuously pushing the boundaries of the genre through each performance.

HRCY

HRCY (pronounced 'Hierarchy') is a contemporary dance group pushing boundaries in the contemporary scene of Singapore.

 

They move with intention – to learn, to grow and to transcend boundaries both on stage and off stage.

 

HRCY has steadily made its mark in the scene – qualifying for the Super 24 Finals in both 2023 and 2025, placing third in 2023, as well as making the Top 12 at World of Dance 2024 and fifth at Summer Jam 2025.

 

Their journey does not only evolve through their craft as dancers, but also to evolve in their understanding as a human being in this world.

Jack

Jack is an experimental dancer with over 13 years of experience with foundations in b-boying, contemporary and other street dance genres.

 

Since 2023, he has been a practitioner of the Threading Theatre methodology from the Netherlands, that has extended his research of the concept of threading, which he now forefronts in the Singapore dance scene.

 

With a unique movement language that blends threading, floor-work and body isolations, he stands out as an artist that aims to present street dance as an abstract art form and seeks unorthodox approaches to movements that evoke the rhetorical nuances of dance.

 

He has directed and performed works in festivals with unconventional narratives, such as Snail Goat at *SCAPE’s comma Art Festival 2025, and the award-winning movement film Rock Sink Into Big Ocean at Lion City Dance Film Festival 2024.

Keziah

Keziah Yntig began dancing at the age of four, training in the RAD Ballet syllabus at Elevate Dance Academie and Crestar School of Dance, where she was also part of the Senior Dance Group, expanding her repertoire to include latin and contemporary. From 2016 to 2021, she majored in dance at the School of the Arts (SOTA), where she received extensive classical training.

 

Since 2021, Keziah has trained in hip hop with a focus on swag styling under the guidance of her mentor, shaping her distinctive movement identity. Her experience spans both competitions and teaching, with accolades including representing ikigai at Korea’s Haru Competition in 2024, and conducting workshops internationally in Kuala Lumpur and Sydney.

 

Constantly seeking growth, Keziah continues to train internationally in Japan, Korea, China and Vietnam, and looks forward to further developing her artistry through performance, choreography and teaching.

Lady Bird

Shanice Elizabeth Kwok, affectionately known as "Lady Bird," was personally named by the founder of locking, Don Campbell in 2016 after a standout battle performance. Starting in hip hop and transitioning to locking in 2012, she has since built a solid reputation through consistent wins in both local and international all styles and locking competitions, remaining an active and respected presence in the global street dance scene.

 

Beyond battles, Shanice has performed in acclaimed international productions, including HILATAS (Dance Dance Asia) in 2016 and 2018, collaborating with Vince Mendoza of the Philippine All Stars and later with both Mendoza and Fabien Prioville—former dancer with La La La Human Steps and Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch—across Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines. In 2019, she performed in Powermoves under Prioville in Germany and returned in 2025 as rehearsal director for its restaging—becoming the only street dancer in Singapore to hold such a role.

 

As an educator, Shanice regularly conducts workshops across Southeast Asia and Eurpe, sharing her knowledge in soul dance and locking. She has also served as a judge, further affirming her influence in the dance community. She proudly represents UFO Crew, Soul Collective, Mothership Connection and 4Corners.

Mandy Pegasus

Mandy, also actively recognised as Mandy Pegasus, has been making waves in the young local scene since 2017. With competitive experience in both domains of choreography and freestyle, Mandy is crafting her identity as a unique artist of multiple disciplines. Mandy places a strong emphasis on musicality and groove, seeing dance as not just a show, but a medium of self-expression. In recent years, her travels to learn and compete internationally have forged Mandy as a strong female hip hop dancer, as well as a dynamic and sensitive artist.

 

Beyond the battle floor, Mandy has developed a deep passion for showcase and production work, allowing her to collaborate with others and elevate her craft artistically. Her experiences include choreographing for NTU MJ Dance Production (Dancetitude), competing at renowned local competitions such as Lion City Dance Convention (Top 10), Singapore Dance Delight, Super 24 (Finalist) and Live The Beat (Finalist). She has also represented Singapore as a guest perfomer at Island of Hip Hop Volume 2, a dance event which was held in Bali, Indonesia. Her versatility, openness and eagerness to learn continue to shape her as an evolving performer.

 

She is all about growth, connection and representation—always leading with heart. Mandy also currently teaches at AK.Kreates and Danz People.

TeamHeart

TeamHeart is a dance crew formed in 2018. At TeamHeart, it's all about sharing the love for dance and bringing joy to the crowd. They are driven to entertain and inspire the audience in every piece created.
