*********************************************


Singapore Dance Theatre was founded in 1988 by Goh Soo Khim and Anthony Then. The Company has since developed into Singapore's premier professional dance company comprising of 35 Company dancers plus apprentices. In 2002, SDT was honoured with the opportunity to grace the official opening of the Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay with the opening performance of Boi Sakti's Reminiscing the Moon.


In 2008, Janek Schergen was appointed Artistic Director of SDT. Under his leadership, the Company has made new achievements in the international arena as well as in Singapore. In the last ten years, the Company has added 30 world premieres and 19 company premieres to the repertoire, in addition to numerous revivals of the existing Company's repertoire. Janek is also the Artistic Director of the Choo-San Goh & H. Robert Magee Foundation which oversees the licensing and production of Choo-San Goh's ballets and the annual Choo-San Goh Awards for Choreography.

In 2013, SDT moved to a new premise in Bugis+ with four state-of-the-art studios.
