I wanted to try something different which was out of my comfort zone and learn something unique and fun. Ballroom dancing was what stood out to me the most as it brought me out of my shell and taught me that anyone can dance.

Caderas has made my school life more vibrant by giving me an avenue to pursue my passion for dance, while always giving me something to look forward to. Though juggling both academics and CCA may be occasionally challenging, it has pushed me to be more effective in time management! - Emma Ng, Junior - School of Law, matriculated 2019.
