Crane Dance

When the best of technological prowess, a visual spectacle and the lyrical beauty of Asian folklore come together, magic is created.

Come down to the Resort World Sentosa and see the Crane Dance which is on every night at 9pm. This marvellous show is one of the largest animatronic shows in the world.

The show comprises of two robotic steel cranes which are about ten storeys high and weigh about eighty tonnes each. Every night, the Resort World waterfront comes alive for the crane dance. The robotic cranes can be seen performing a beautiful courtship ritual with state of the art light effects, visual illusions and water effects.

The show is inspired by a beautiful Asian story that talks about two artificial birds coming to life through the power of love that they share. The visual illusion of the dancing cranes is a beauty to behold. The exquisitely designed sound effects that accompany the animatronics show adds an extra dimension.

Designed by the world-renowned artist Jeremy Railton, the Crane Dance completely redefined the idea of digital art. It was no more just about a light and sound show. The show premiered on Christmas night 2010 and has been attracting full houses ever since.

The show is about ten minutes long and leaves spectators gasping in awe at the sheer magnanimity of the spectacle. The Crane Dance show does not charge the audience an admission fee. However, it is prudent to show up early in order to get good seats. It is a spectacle you will not soon forget.
