For the first time we invited former trainees [Leticia Tan, Ashley Chen, Anne Lu and Fresha Mardira] who have proven their excellence in many talents, including leadership, music and organisation skills amongst many others, to be trainer assistants for the four teams at the 2019 boot camp.
Two uniforms were given to trainees and both were designed by choreographer Kasper and his clothing brand, Buried Alive.
To reward the trainees' hard work, The Academy's Director invited her good friend, choreographer Choi Young Jun to teach the trainees his choreography. We also celebrated his birthday (spot us in his instagram @choi_tamzin)
