Jay Tan
Jay Tan’s journey in dance began at the age of 15 when he participated in a cultural festival that celebrated art as a medium for promoting peace. This transformative experience ignited a lifelong belief in the power of movement to inspire change and connect communities. Since then, Jay has directed and founded multiple dance companies in Singapore and the United States, showcasing his ability to lead and innovate across cultures. What energizes him most is when he can blend storytelling and choreography into captivating experiences for his audience.
Today, Jay is a producer, writer, and storyteller at Microsoft, where he continues to explore the intersection of creativity and technology. However, he continues to be passionate about mentoring the next generation of changemakers through movement. In his classes, Jay emphasizes self-discovery, encouraging students to connect deeply with their bodies and develop their unique voices. He fosters a safe and supportive environment where students feel empowered to take risks, explore their creativity, and push their boundaries. Jay’s ultimate goal is to inspire his students to use dance not only as a form of expression but also as a tool for driving positive change in their lives and the world around them.
