The Arts Ambassadors-in-School Scheme is organised by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. It encourages students to take their passion for the arts beyond the school and into the wider community. The ambassadors will take part in arts programmes during the school holidays.
This week's artists are Karine Chan Loong-ying, a Primary Six student at Marymount Primary School, and Vickie Lau Tsz-yung, a Primary Six student at SKH Mung Yan Primary School. They talk about their passion for dance.
Karine Chan
I started learning Latin dance in 2006 and fell in love with it. One of my best teachers, Sunny Wang, is from Liyang, Jiangsu province .
My partner and I are his favourite students. He is tough but nice, and dedicated to teaching.
During summer, 2008, he invited us to Liyang for a week's training course. He taught us creative dances for a grand public performance at a 1,000-seat theatre. We trained from early morning daily, learning new dances.
