Crystal had achieved RAD Vocational Graded – Advanced 1 for her training in Classical Ballet. She also received Highly Commended for the ATODI Jazz Gold Medal Level exam.

With her passion in dance, she joined the Dance Society in Secondary School. There, she was trained under Mdm Ding Hong who was from Beijing Academy of Dance and she participated in two Singapore Youth Festivals and achieved Gold and Silver awards in 2005 and 2007 respectively. In addition to her exposure in Classical Ballet and Chinese Dance, Crystal learnt Hip Hop and was part of Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s New Revolving Age (NRA) Dance Club and participated in performances such as Danzation and Dance For Fund.
