Founded in 1989 by Artistic Director Madam Lim Moi Kim, the Singapore Chinese Dance Theatre (SCDT), previously known as the Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan Dance Theatre, was officially incorporated as a professional dance company in 2014 under the support of Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan. In recognition of its enduring efforts to the local arts scene, the company received the Seed Grant funding from the National Arts Council (NAC) in 2013. With this given affirmation, SCDT envisions itself to be a world-class dance company that epitomises the preservation and promotion of Chinese dance through artistic and creative excellence. Apart from producing innovative, original choreography and productions that remain relevant to our traditional roots, SCDT is also committed to developing Chinese dance as an accessible art form to the wider community by delivering a variety of dance education and outreach programmes. SCDT also recognises the need to nurture young, promising dancers to continue its preservation and promotion efforts. In early 2016, SCDT registered as a charity with Institution of a Public Character (IPC) status. The company was also honoured to receive the support of NAC under its Major Company Scheme in the same year.
