Patrina Lee, 20, a full-time preschool teacher, discovered her love for dancing at the tender age of seven when her primary school teacher signed her up for a hip-hop dance class, since she was the only student without a co-curricular activity.<\/span><\/p>\n

You could say it was fate because from then on, she could not live a day without dancing.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2018, Patrina met student Syiqin Teo, 19, and the two quickly bonded over their shared interest in <\/span>street dancing<\/span><\/a>, marking the start of their dance-fuelled friendship accompanied by daily practice sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time we train together, I\u2019m always learning something new and different. I gain a new perspective of what Patrina shares with me as well,\u201d says Syiqin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like peas in a pod, the duo spend their nights training and learning different dance styles as they strive towards their common goal: becoming professional dancers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dance choreographies are now commonly used in songs by artists in different genres such as mainstream pop and R&B <\/span>artists. With this surge, dance styles like street dance have <\/span>taken over the world by storm<\/span><\/a> to become an essential part of mainstream pop culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

The popularity of street dance has evolved so greatly that the top hits we listen to now have their own set of official choreography, as moving along to a song definitely makes these hits more exciting and offers fans an opportunity to connect with their favourite artists.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s not to love about a TikTok dance by your favourite singer?<\/span><\/p>\n

Street Woman Fighter<\/span><\/i>, a female dance crew survival program, has been one of the Internet\u2019s trending topics as viewers admire the professionalism of the dancers<\/span>. Photo taken from <\/span>Mnet Asia<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite dance being an essential part of pop culture, dancers are not always given credit where it’s due. With <\/span>Korean survival shows<\/span><\/a> such as <\/span>Street Woman Fighter<\/span><\/i>, viewers are able to delve deeper into the dance world to see the artistry and message of dance that has been shown through the skills and professionalism of the dancers, while admiring their perseverance.<\/span><\/p>\n

As more dancers get recognised worldwide, Singapore also has its very own up-and-coming street dancers, Patrina and Syiqin.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI realised I loved to dance when my mother was against me going to rehearsals due to my low grades,\u201d Patrina says with a chuckle. \u201cThis might sound deep but dancing gives me a purpose to live and continue persevering. I get to express myself through movement instead of words.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For the two girls, dancing has become a part of their identity and bopping at car parks after five hour-long training sessions was all they knew. As the art form got more serious for them, the girls joined their first crew, the Junior Groovers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe journey with the crew was not the smoothest nor the easiest, but I definitely think that it was worthwhile and memorable,\u201d Syiqin reminisces.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enduring tough classes, busy schedules and late night trainings were all part of their struggles and there were times when they experienced <\/span>burnouts<\/span><\/a>, as their self-doubt and self-hatred grew.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter stepping into the working world, I realised that I have a lot less time and energy to dance,\u201d says Patrina. \u201cI would drag myself to dance classes and self-trainings, making me dread my passion. This mindset was extremely unhealthy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hurdles will always be there for Patrina and Syiqin when it comes to dance, but these growing pains will only make them a better dancer and person. Photo by Charleen Leonita.<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting demoralised and losing the excitement they once had for dance will only continue to be a part and parcel of growth as dancers for Patrina and Syiqin, but overcoming these hurdles has only made them stronger.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter how hard I am on myself, I have to believe that I\u2019m always a work in progress, and I\u2019m not meant to strive for perfection,\u201d says Syiqin.<\/span>

Learning to deal with hardships haven\u2019t been the only takeaways for the girls. With every dance session or training, they learn more about teamwork, discipline and responsibility which have become the core values that they uphold today.<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked about their fondest memory from their dance journey, they both reminisced about the opportunity to share their choreography to a class.<\/span><\/p>\n
