LEANE LIM
Born in Singapore, Leane began her dance training at the age of four under the guidance of Lena Foo and later attended the School of the Arts, Singapore. She was awarded a scholarship to further her training at the Central School of Ballet (CSB) in London, graduating in 2015 with a First Class BA (Hons) degree.
During her time in London, she worked with renowned guest teachers and choreographers, including Carole Gable, Aurora Bosch, and Christopher Hampson, as part of Ballet Central’s touring company.
Her time at CSB also provided valuable opportunities in choreography. Notably, her neoclassical piece won a prize at the school’s choreographic platform and was performed at the City of London Festival.
Upon returning to Singapore, Leane joined Singapore Dance Theatre as an apprentice in 2017 and was promoted to Artist in 2019. Her repertoire highlights include soloist roles such as the Fairy of Grace in Sleeping Beauty (2024), as well as Icicles and Chinese Flowers in The Nutcracker (2024). She has also performed in other classical works, including Swan Lake, Cinderella, Romeo and Juliet, Coppélia, Don Quixote, and Paquita, as well as Balanchine’s Serenade, The Four Temperaments, and Theme and Variations.
Her versatility extends to contemporary works, including the recent creations Dark Waves (2024) by Natalie Weir and Rite of Spring(2024) by Kinsun Chan. She has also performed in Opus 25 by Edwaard Liang, Organ Concerto by Nils Christe, Linea Adora by Timothy Harbour, and Quiver and Without You by Timothy Rushton.
Additionally, Leane’s repertoire features Choo-San Goh’s ballets, including Fives, Schubert Symphony, Double Contrasts, In the Glow of the Night, and Birds of Paradise.
