Derek has loved performing since he was small.
Graduated from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technologies, Derek used to be working in an office for two years. Knowing that dancing and singing had been his biggest interests, eventually Derek quited his job and pursued his dream. Studying was one of the ways to change, so he went to an audition at the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Art and finally got a seat in Musical Theater Dance.
After graduation, he got chance to perform in some Broadway musicals like Pippin, Annie, Oliver and so on. At the same time, he has been a Jazz/Jazz Funk dance instructor in different studios and schools like Studiodanz, CCDC, Jean M.Wong School of Ballet and HKUST.
In 2008, he set up a dance group, Dance Unique, with his friends Jen and Shan to further promoting dance to the community. They believe dance is not just about steps, but it’s love, it’s passion and it can make the world a better place. They hope to bring this message through their group’s functions.
Enjoying every single moment and following his heart, Derek always keeps bearing these in mind.
