Interviewed The Gentlemen Collective

1) How did this name came about?

Our group name started out with our concept we had for our SDD prelims piece and from there we started playing with words related to gentlemen and ended with The Gentlemen Collective.

2) How did you all from the group?

Our group was initially formed by our seniors. We are all from the same CCA, New Revolving Age, which is a hip hop club in our school, Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

3) Where do you guys usually have your training?

We usually practice in our school studios, if not we would have to find a space that has a reflection even if it's in the open.

4) How old are the members in your group?

We range from 17- 20.

5) Have you guys took part in any other dance competition?

This competition is our first as a crew, but individually we have taken part in various competitions with other groups.

6) Tell me what inspire you guys to dance?

We all come from different dance backgrounds, but we all love the freedom of dancing and showcasing music through movement.

7) What are your dreams and aspirations?

We do not want this group to be a one-off thing. We hope to continue to dance together as a group and join other competitions together. Our goals are long term and we hope to compete overseas on an international level one day.

8) What do you think is the most distinctive feature of your team?

Our crew always get injuries. We do warm-up and stretch, however we somehow always get injuries during trainings and one of our members almost had to pull out in February due to a knee injury.

9) Anything to say to your friends and supporters?

We would like to thank our 4 choreographers and our NRA Family for supporting us all the way. We hope to have new supporters too during this journey and we hope everyone enjoys the finals on the 10th of May and has a great time together.

Here are some shots of them taken by me at the Prelims of Singapore Dance Delight Vol.5:

1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? Personally, as the grand final day drew nearer, and diet and water had to be stricter, it was hard trying to keep up with the nutrition portion as well as the rest and recovery portion. Aside from that, i was starting to feel a little more anxious that i should and a huge part of it was because i invited my mother to be part of the audience and i wanted the event to be memorable for her.

From the auditions all the way to the Grand Finals, i knew i had to step up as prior to the audition, i let myself go quite abit because of the fact that i was juggling between work and handling my 3 children.

1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? To be honest, it was when i saw my friend Stanley give the most touching proposal on coronation night. It really made me tear up seeing how emotional he got while on his knee 2) What was the prep process like? The prep process was pretty vigorous nearing towards the end, as there were many events to go for and practices to attend.
