雪隆广青舞团简介
雪隆广东会馆青年部舞蹈组成立于1980年6月15日，至今已届30年。2010年起提升为雪隆广青舞团。初期的舞团着重于民族舞蹈表演，后来逐渐朝往现代舞表演发展，并自2005年起，以招考及遴选的方式录取舞者。
本团主要宗旨是推广本土舞蹈艺术文化，栽培舞者及塑造一个舞蹈平台，极力迈向专业化发展。
为了能更全面的推广本土舞蹈艺术活动及培训更多的专业舞者，本团近年来已愈趋向专业化的训练，更每年定期举办专场演出及跨步汇演。此外，也活跃参与国内艺术节、文化节的舞蹈演出，如全国华人舞蹈节1997、亚太经济峰会（APEC）迎宾宴1998、共和联邦运动会（SUKOM）1998、TARI 1998、国家剧院（Istana Budaya）开幕1999、第一方程式车赛（Formula One）大马站演出1999、TARI 2000 、TARI 2002、Malaysian Dance Festival 2005、TARI 2007等等。
雪隆广青舞团近年来更是多次因其演出水准而荣获由Kakiseni所主办的BOH Cameronian Arts Awards的多项提名。雪隆广青舞团于2005年透过《六色遐想》荣获提名最佳团体表现奖；于2006年透过《In-Transit》荣获多项提名，包括最佳艺术总监、最佳灯光设计、最佳音响制作、最佳表演者、最佳道具设计及最佳编导；第七届《跨步-起画地平线》之其中作品《Behind》则于2007年获提名最佳编导；于2008年透过《HIDING LOVE》获提名最佳团体表现奖、最佳表演者、最佳编导及最佳服装设计奖；本团于是次提名中荣获前三项奖项，此为本地首个华团获得此奖项。
雪隆广青舞团于2009年更成为马来西亚首个受邀到中国广州《第六届广东现代舞蹈周》演出的华社舞蹈团体，此演出获得一致的好评。并于2010年再次获邀参与“亚洲女型”单元演出。
