It with a great sense of honor that Seoul Foreign School welcomes the APAC schools to our campus. Like many international schools, Seoul Foreign has a long tradition in seeing the arts as a central part of their mission to support students in striving for excellence. Helping children to learn and develop their individual talents is, of course, crucial, but it is when we bring students together that the real magic of school dance begins. It is all the more special when young people from across South Asia can connect and create in the type of vibrant festival of dance that we anticipate witnessing this year. Seeing and learning from each other through the creative process is invaluable but making friendships through our love of artistic expression is equally important. We have no doubt that the 2017 APAC dance festival will be no different in this regard. We take the job of hosting very seriously and want to offer you a warm welcome to SFS and to Seoul. I know our team have worked hard to be ready for your visit and would want me to ask that you do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything we can do to help your visit be a rewarding and comfortable one.
Best wishes and let the dancing begin!
Colm Flanagan Head of School Seoul Foreign School
Dear APAC Dance Students and Coaches,
A warm welcome - in the midst of our chilly but beautiful fall - to Seoul! SFS is excited to host the APAC Dance Festival this year, and glad you will be joining us and sharing your creativity and talent. We hope you enjoy the warm community at SFS as this becomes your home away from home for a few days - whether connecting with new friends in the cafeteria, meeting host families and friends around school or feeling the supportive audience while performing.
SFS is a school with a proud fine arts heritage with a strong emphasis on performance and creativity. Thank you for your hard work, preparation and taking time away from your studies to share your talents with us! I hope you have a great festival - see you on the stage!
