REVOLT: THE ALL‑TEEN CREW WITH LINKS TO BLACKPINK, LE SSERAFIM AND JUNGKOOK
Everyone in this crew is between 15 and 19, but TikTok dancers they are not (though some have found impressive fame on the platform – School of the Arts student Charlotte Seet (pictured far left), for example, has garnered a cool 534.1k followers and 39.2 million likes for her content showing off her explosive moves). And nope, none have danced with any K-pop stars, but it might only be a matter of time. Revolt, you see, was started in 2015 by Recognize Studios – one of the biggest names specialising in street dance here – and Nicholas Ong, CEO of the Singapore-based global dance network and talent agency Jam Republic The Agency, which represents Recognize Studios alongside other world-renowned studios and dancers who have worked with the likes of the aforementioned K-celebs.
Its goal: to offer a safe environment for youths to hone their street dance style and techniques with the belief that the art form is beneficial and empowering for them. As Recognize Studios’ managing director Alson Yeo points out, “starting young also gives them a longer runway to learn and improve”.
Taught a diverse range of genres spanning hip-hop to locking by professionals, the group has continually made a splash on the dance circuit and even competed overseas for the first time last year. Next up is another first: taking part in the Lion City Dance Convention, one of Singapore’s most closely watched street dance events, at month’s end, with choreography that these young performers came up with entirely on their own.
