Synopsis:

Do you stop dancing because you grow old?
Four friends who share a passion for dance reunite after more than 40 years. They reminisce about their youthful days, recalling the reckless pursuit of their dreams and the fearless dedication of their younger selves. What did they believe in? What did they hold onto? In the end, how have they changed?

Now, with their wealth of experience, they learn new steps as they once again dance together, rediscovering one another through their shared movements. They embrace their differences, welcome spontaneous participation, and respect those who choose to step away. Perhaps dance is more than just dance; it is a reflection of life. Through their dance together, they aim to reveal the traces of their life journeys, showcasing the many possibilities of body and dance.

In Dance with Me, Artistic Director Low Mei Yoke invites her longtime friends Selina Tan, Thong Meng Lan and Jean Lee—who danced together with her in their youthful days—to explore the essence of life and dance in this brand new work. They are also joined by a regional creative team, comprising Ong Yong Loke (Hong Kong), Ng Chor Guan (Malaysia), and Gabriel Chan and Tung Ka Wai (Singapore) in this collaboration.
