RDA K-Pop crew takes the stage

Miss Mia DeBortoli, RDA Dance Tutor

The Radford Dance Academy (RDA) K-Pop crew had the exciting opportunity to perform at Korea on Stage – an event that forms part of the annual 'Immersia' program run by the School of Culture, History and Language within the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific.

The crew performed a medley of vibrant K-pop hits by popular groups Jennie from BLACKPINK, ATEEZ, MEOVV and XG, which thrilled the audience. The crew looked fantastic in their coordinated outfits and performed in an energetic and professional manner, showcasing the skills they’ve learned over the past year.

The students, their families and the audience were treated to Korean food beforehand, such as gimbap, red bean bread and other Korean snacks and drinks. The event also featured fun Kahoot quizzes, raffle prizes such as K-food and K-pop albums. There were also presentations by ANU students who travelled to South Korea for summer school, along with K-pop dance and singing performances by Serendipity Dance Crew, all which made for a fun night for all in attendance.

We would like to thank the ANU Korea Institute for this wonderful opportunity, particularly the event organiser Rocky Kim and photographer, Robin Winters. Thank you also to the RDA K-Pop Crew families for their support and to RDA Director Mrs Maddie Grieger for her help and enthusiasm, enabling students to attend such events.

For those interested in all things Korean pop culture, the National Museum of Australia will be hosting an exhibition entitled Hallyu! The Korean Wave from 12 December 2025 to 10 May 2026, so be on the lookout for exciting events throughout this time.
