Dance is freedom. Dance is life.

Dance is not just an art form. It is a form of expression, it is a powerful impulse. It can be a form of therapy, it can be an inborn talent. It transforms emotions, breathes life into ideas. It expresses the inexpressible; explains the inexplainable. Come, show us how much dance means to you. NPS HSR invites you to take part in our dance event, Footloose. Come ready to fight, for what a fight it will be!

Writing is a calling, not a choice.

Prepare thyselves, Tributes. Thou must know the thoughts of the distant lands and people to be deemed worthy enough to proceed. Next, play the creator, shaping the lives of the multitude to thy’s hearts content. Finally, step into a world like no other where wit doth be thy sole refuge and guile doth be thy sole companion. T’is not for faint of heart, but for the valiant.
