“The sacrifices you are willing to make is solely dependent on your desire to succeed.”
DIMENSIONS is pleased to share about Khyati Jain’s eye-catching performance during the Chingay parade. She was selected to be a centre performer along the first row. She performed a cartwheel set much to the delight of the audience. Let us appreciate her immense effort and sacrifice to practise hard in spite of her busy exam schedule and illness. It certainly was not easy for her to juggle school and dance practice. Great job!
The word Chingay is derived from the Mandarin word zhuang yi, which means the art of costume and masquerade in the Hokkien dialect. This festival has deep roots in Singapore’s history and is one of the most significant celebrations of our unique multiculturalism in the country. It’s celebrated today as an elaborate parade renowned for lavishly decorated floats, intricate props and structures, and cultural performances from Singapore and her neighbours both near and far.
