Past Events Care to Dance 2006 2006 saw the second annual installment of Care to Dance – a YMCA community programme held in conjunction with SHINE, a youth festival supported by The Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) and the National Youth Council (NYC). In Care to Dance, youth aged 15 to 35 reached out to the less fortunate through fun and exciting dance forms in a novel way of serving with a heart. The event was held over four full days on 19 June and 3, 17 and 29 July. The programme reached out to 10 beneficiary organisations: three student care centres and seven welfare organisations for intellectually challenged. Care to Dance engaged 590 youth volunteers from 14 educational institutes including upper secondary, junior colleges, centralised institutes and tertiary institutes. The event was spear-headed by volunteers from the Lindy Hop Ensemble.
