An elegent blend of tradition and hip hop anchors RE:TURN's Malay dance segment
Return of RE:TURN is a high energy dance production that explores the disappearing grammar of traditional Malay, Indian and Chinese dance finding its way to influence, evolve and turn dance genres like hip-hop into fresh and exciting possibilities. Featuring the largest dance club, this production celebrates SMU Eurhythmix (EMIX) marking its 25th anniversary alongside SMU25 and SG60. In the Malay segment, choreographer Mr Hafeez Hassan (fourth from right) stepped onstage alongside the students, lending an authentic presence to the sequence’s unhurried tempo. The fusion of hip hop with traditional Malay movement evoked a pastoral simplicity, while the dancers—dressed in green and accompanied by a live musician—move with poised grace, conjuring scenes of tranquil kampong life.

    The finale of RE:TURN celebrates cultural expression and collaboration, closing with a powerful ensemble performance under dynamic lighting
    On 20 September 2025, SMU Eurhythmix (EMIX) — the university’s oldest and largest dance club, also celebrating its own 25th anniversary — staged Return of RE:TURN at Drama Centre Theatre. The full-length dance production fused hip hop with classical Malay, Indian, and Chinese dance vocabularies. Under the mentorship of established choreographers, students explored how heritage forms could be reimagined through contemporary movement, creating a dialogue between the past and present. Return of RE:TURN showcased not just the technical skill of SMU’s dancers, but also their ability to use performance as a medium for cultural storytelling. The finale showed all groups of dancers converging in style, gearing towards unity through diversity, celebrating SMU's Jubilee and the nation's SG60 anniversaries.
