MyCreative Ventures is Calling to Dancers Nationwide to Compete in Dance Competition 

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 (Bernama) -- MyCreative Ventures launches Artistreet Dance, a spinoff from the performing arts pitch held in 2018 which featured street art. 

Artistreet is a performing arts competition and a quest to discover Malaysia’s best live acts. This first of its kind performing arts competition which began in 2018 encourages all aspiring Malaysian performers to take part and promote performing arts. The art of dance is the main focus this year with no limitations to the imagination.

The best acts stand a chance to win cash prizes totalling up to RM18,000 as they perform live at the grand finals at RIUH - one of the most popular local art events.

The competition welcomes dancers from all styles, backgrounds and disciplines - whether its traditional, contemporary, modern, street, fusion, avant garde and any other genre - all are welcomed to participate.

Contestants can be individuals or groups and performance duration must be between 5 to 10 minutes. 

ARTISTREET is an initiative by MyCreative Ventures to provide opportunities to the performing arts community driving the Malaysian creative art scene as well as providing a platform for industry experts to discover fresh talents. 

ARTISTREET aims to promote more varied forms of performing arts and encourage the youth to express themselves creatively and pursue arts as a form of self-expression. 

ARTISTREET is open to all Malaysians with no age limit but minors must have their parent or guardian’s consent. 

The Artistreet Dance grand finals will be held at the special year end edition of RIUH, a curated creative platform on in December 2019.
