14 September 2014 marks the second anniversary of Kaki Bukit division longest running grassroots event, Dance-to-Bond. This initiative first started in 2012 when Helen, the dancing instructor approached MP Faisal seeking his assistance to provide a venue for a free weekly line dancing program for residents. After some discussions and a feasibility check on the recommended site, it was started and ran wholly on the initiative of Helen and a group of residents in Kaki Bukit division. And so for the past 104 weeks, on Friday evenings residents and their friends have been using the pavilion besides Block 508, Bedok North Avenue 3 for their weekly line-dancing sessions. Many residents started off two years ago not knowing any steps but with the assistance of resident teacher/ instructor Helen, you can find many of them grooving to the music week-in, week-out. Every year, during the Teachers Day period, MP Faisal would make it a point to hand deliver a gift to Helen to thank her for the time and efforts spent in hosting and guiding fellow residents and their friends. The venue is made free of charge to them and the sessions are made available free to all who are interested. Helens birthday happens to fall on the month of September and her students would cook up a feast to show their gratitude towards her. Two years on and this ground-up initiative is still going strong! Kudos to all involved. You can really feel the strong bond and community spirit among this growing group of line-dancing students/ enthusiasts. Every week, at Kaki Bukit. Dance-to-Bond is on every Friday evenings, 8pm at the pavilion besides Block 508, Bedok North Avenue 3.
