Yan Ee began dancing at 5 years old, under the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), Commonwealth Society of Teachers of Dancing (CSTD) for Ballet, and Australian Teachers of Dancing (ATOD) for jazz.

At 14, she started contemporary dance, and at 18 diversified into hip-hop training under An An. 

A few of her notable accolades during her competitive dance seasons include Super 24 with her alumni dance club, The Passionate Dancing Elders, and 2nd  placing in Arena Singapore 2019 with Baseline. Through the years, her approach to dance has been influenced by Anouk van Dijik’s Countertechnique, where she attended a few of their intensive sessions in Melbourne and Hong Kong.

Yan Ee is a firm believer that dance can bring healing, a place of contemplation, and self-discovery. She attributes her journey to many beloved mentors and friends who have provided opportunities for her to develop her continual love for dance. 

She advocates movement for everyone, no matter where they are, they will surely find a safe space within dance movement itself. 

She values the unique qualities of every person and aspires to bring out the best in each of her students. No single individual can have the same dance journey, and she desires to help them start on their own unique discovery.

Joelynn started dancing at age of 13 and has been trained under Xu Jie, Peter Teo, Ryan Tan, Clarice Ng, Jeffrey Tan and Lin Xiaolin. She was a part of the TRDO community and associates from 2016 before joining the first company in 2017 and has been involved in numerous performances under their wing. She has also dabbled in Hiphop and Street Jazz and has been exposed to gymnastics and Breaking, allowing her to explore a more athletic and acrobatic style. Joelynn has clinched awards in various local competitions, performed choreographic work for overseas instructors, and has played both roles of choreographer and performer for multiple productions. Additionally, she completed her yoga teachers training in 2021.

Joelynn has been given multiple opportunities to teach and assist, allowing her to harness her creativity, carefully curate lessons, and create meaningful experiences for others. She believes in sharing the hope, love, and vulnerability that dance as a language can help to express, together with the physicality and artistry only dance can offer. You can be sure she will provide a safe space for her students to try and fail and try again!
