After years of global dance training, Chun Chua returned to Singapore to pioneer somatic healing through movement. Her work blends dance, mindfulness, and breath, inviting others to reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and shared humanity.
I’m Chun Chua—professional dancer, movement artist, creative producer, and founder of venuschun. With over two decades of experience in the global performing arts and wellness industry, my journey began with a deep love for dance and took root in New York City, where I lived and trained intensively for more than eight years.
That chapter shaped not just my craft, but my understanding of movement as a language that transcends borders.
Returning home to Singapore, I felt a calling to fuse my diverse learnings into something purposeful and healing. Today, I proudly pioneer bodyART, a holistic movement therapy program rooted in somatic awareness and breathwork, alongside teaching Hustle—a joyful, partner-based social dance—at En Motion Dance Studios.
Through these modalities, I’ve found my purpose in cultivating safe, joyful spaces for people to reconnect with themselves and others through movement.
Blending Movement, Mindfulness, and Expression to Awaken the Authentic Self
My body of work spans performance, choreography, wellness coaching, and community-building. You’ll find glimpses of my practice and collaborations on @venuschun, where I share the raw and real moments of my dance and life journey.
From underground social dance scenes in Brooklyn to leading bodyART retreats across Asia, I’ve come to see movement as more than performance—it’s transformation.
Through venuschun, my own little sole proprietorship, I offer experiences that blend dance, mindfulness, and therapeutic embodiment, designed to guide others back to their most authentic selves.
Weaving Connection, Growth, and Grace Through Every Movement and Meeting
My “rainbow” has never been a linear path—it’s a beautifully woven spectrum of people, moments, and magic.
The true joy of my journey has been the communities I’ve nurtured and the souls I’ve crossed paths with—students, collaborators, mentors, fellow dancers, and seekers of all kinds.
The real art has always been in these relationships, in the subtle shifts I see in someone who dares to move differently, breathe deeply, or hold themselves with more grace. That’s where the gold is.
Turning Movement into a Compass for Healing, Freedom, and Unapologetic Being
Looking back, I realize how dance became my compass through grief, joy, burnout, rebirth, and everything in between. Every class I teach and every project I birth is a quiet revolution against disconnection. I dance for the ones who feel unseen. I move so others may feel free to do the same. My art is not about perfection—it’s about permission. To feel. To be. Unapologetically.
Let Love Lead, Show Up Fully, and Create What Feels Real
Love is the greatest mover. It anchors us in truth and guides us through chaos.
Let your work be an extension of your heart. Show up fully, even if you’re trembling. People don’t remember perfect performances—they remember when you made them feel something real.
Be genuine, be kind, and stay curious. That’s the magic.
