Pichcha (Year 7) achieved outstanding success across three major international dance competitions in 2025, earning multiple first-place awards, gold prizes, scholarships, and international invitations—showcasing exceptional discipline, artistry, and passion on the global stage.

We are proud to celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of Pichcha (Year 7), who has earned exceptional recognition across three major international dance competitions in 2025.

1. TDO International 2025 (11–16 November)

Competing against 1,500 dancers from 12 countries, Pichcha delivered an extraordinary performance with:

• First Place in Contemporary Solo (Junior 1)

• First Place in Lyrical Solo (Junior 1)

• First Place in Acrobatic Solo (Junior 1)

• First Place in Contemporary Duo (Junior 2)

• Gold Medal with Special Scholarship in Repertoire Solo

She also received a full scholarship to compete at the Taiwan International Open Dance Championship 2026.

2. Korea International Contemporary Dance Competition (23 September)

Pichcha was awarded the Gold Prize in the Pre-Junior Online Category.

Despite the category allowing dancers up to 14 years old, she secured the top award at just 12 years old, demonstrating exceptional technique and artistic maturity.

3. International Arts Festival (IAF) Thailand 2025 (11–13 October)

Pichcha achieved five Platinum First Place results across Contemporary, Lyrical, Duo Contemporary, Duo Jazz, and Trio categories.

She was further awarded the Contemporary Grand Award for Ages 9–14, recognising her performance as the strongest in the entire division.

These achievements also earned her invitations to the Grand Final in Singapore and a 25% scholarship for IBGP 2026.

Pichcha’s hard work, consistency, and passion have truly shone on the international stage. We look forward to supporting her as she prepares for the GET THE BEAT World Final 2025 in Singapore this December.

Her achievements reflect what becomes possible when passion, discipline, and belief come together. This moment is only a glimpse of her potential, and we look forward to seeing her rise even further in the years ahead.
