“Cheer Rock! Competition is a first ever initiative by Lifeskills and Lifestyle Division of the People's Association to talent-hunt for cheerleaders and street rockers to perform in the Chingay Parade. This is part of our effort to actively engage youth from the community. As cheerleading and street rock are both energetic and challenging activities that appeal to young people, we feel that this is a good platform to rope in more youth to inject more vibrancy and spirit in Chingay Parade of DreamS,”
