Updates:
The 22nd Hong Kong Dance Awards Presentation was scheduled to take place on 18 July 2020 at Kwai Tsing Theatre Auditorium in front of an invited audience. However, due to the spike in COVID-19 cases in Hong Kong and the closure of LCSD venue, avoid gathering is crucial to ensure public health, thus it is decided to cancel this week’s presentation ceremony. Instead, the Awards’ results are going to be announced online, live-streamed on Facebook and YouTube. Please stay tuned! The shortlisted nominees and awardees will be informed to collect the certificate and prize later.

In view of the continuing uncertainty and risk of infection caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 22nd Hong Kong Dance Awards Presentation Ceremony will be changed from a public event to a closed-door, invitation-only event with live-streaming on social media platforms for free viewing. To avoid a large gathering, only the shortlisted nominees and other related parties will be invited to attend in person.
This exciting new way of conducting the ceremony reflects the ‘new normal’ of life during the pandemic and the new journey on which the dance community, like the rest of the world, is embarking, and will make the event accessible to a much wider audience.
“This online Awards ceremony will show how we can embrace the future. It will enable us to honour outstanding achievements in Hong Kong dance and bring the dance community together in celebration after the tough times we’ve been through without any risk.”
— Chairperson of Hong Kong Dance Alliance | Shirley Loong
“We’re keeping the ceremony simple while not forgetting how art can heal tired hearts and bring us hope.”
— Artistic Director of 22nd Hong Kong Dance Awards | Dominic Wong
In addition to the presentations, the event will feature a specially-choreographed performance by four local dance artists with live music from Patrick Ng.
