Sunny Low, according to friends who wrote in to my WhatsApp messages, had passed away this afternoon, to be with his Lord and Saviour.
These last few days have been very sad and disheartening indeed.
We met him, the last time at a Chinese New Year dinner, held by Tan Soo Khoon, in February 2019. The guests had a ball discussing the 60s with Sunny and other friends and music makers. The waltz, fox-trot and tango, together with the cha-cha, mambo, twist and jive came alive again!
In one of my postings I called him Mr. Twinkle Toes. Sunny left a legacy of dance for his family and Singapore. Not easy to fit into those ballroom shoes; his were huge...
Usually quiet and unassuming, he let his feet do the talking.
RIP SUNNY.
Our sincere condolences to Sunny's family.

R.I.P...Sunny .Condolences to the Low family.
He was popular. RIP.
RIP my late parents were Sunny Low’s father students way back in the 50s.
I can still remember my parents used to tell me that they learnt Latin Chacha, Rhumba and Tango as well.
Sigh, an iconic legend dancer has left us.
When I was 15 or 16 years old Sunny Low choreographed a solo dance item for me to perform at The Cathay Restaurant on a circular podium on stage!! I spent weeks at his Tiong Poh dance studio for those lessons! Met him now and than thru the years and the last time I caught up with him and Aleena was when I was greeting you at Tan Soo Khoon's CNY party when I realised he was sitting on your left with Aleena on your right!! I was so thrilled to see him and to catch up with him!! Goodbye Sunny! Rest In Peace!!
My husband was once attended his dancing lesson, was a student from Sunny Low at Sunny Low Dance Studio in 1980s. RIP 🙏
RIP Sunny Low.
Enjoyed watching him and his sister dancing on the variety shows in the 60s…such a treat then!
Condolences To His Family

I have known Sunny Low since the 60’s. The Quests and The Sunny and Betty Low Dancers had performed in many functions together. It’s a sad day to learn of Sunny’s passing. The greatest consolation is knowing we will meet again.
The greatest Cha Cha Cha and Rock N Roll dancer in Singapore. Always performing on TV their favourite dance steps, Sunny and Betty Low. The popular Grace Chang or Ker Lan danced with Sunny at Majestic Theatre many years ago.
Deepest Condolences To All In The Family 🙏
Natasha Low or Tasha, from the current K-Pop group SKarf, is the grand daughter of Sunny Low the undisputed king of dance in Singapore from the late 1950s. Sunny learnt the art from his father Low Poh San.
Thanks James, for the reminder; that's from my contribution to the Singapore Memory's project 7 years ago. Meantime, the lovely Natasha's group has split up [if I'm not wrong] and she's back home.
That's why it's worth mentioning.
Thanks for the memories.
Hi Andy,
Sad news indeed. I remember watching him and sister Betty perform at Gan Eng Seng School's concert way back in the late 50's.
RIP SUNNY.
MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO SUNNY LOW'S FAMILY.
RIP SUNNY
GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL.
May his soul rest in peace.
May perpetually light shine on him.
It is better to pray for his soul than send condolences.

Sunny is now dancing with the angels.
They don't have two left feet.
Condolences to Aleena and Jovn and family.
Singapore has lost an icon. I remembered helping Allen's revamp & edit the magazines for the Competitions. And he was most appreciative especially when I help rewrite his articles and history of the competitions and added Systems Which became The basis of future magazines.
Sunny is always cheerful and I'm sure he has left an indelible mark on Singapore Dancing.
Till we meet again Sunny. Keep sing and Keep Dancing
Yes indeed. Bless his soul.
Yes indeed
I am really sad of his passed on... Deepest Condolences to his loving family...
He had invited me to visit him in his studio in 2019...now I had regretted so much I had not done so... It's too late now that he is gone 😪...
My very first dance teacher just after my schooldays in late 1968 he had wanted to train me ballroom dancing for a competition oversea but I choose to be with Teepees band...
May his good soul Rest In Peace SUNNY LOW

Hi, Freda,
A great guy indeed. Thanks for the pleasant memories with Sunny.
And others too for remembering SUNNY.
Condolences to the family of the late Sunny Low. Sunny Low Dancing Studio is iconic and well-known to many and our neighbouring countries. I hope my memory doesn't fail me as I somehow recall Sunny Low group had a dance studio along Tiong Bahru Road's shophouse in the sixties and seventies. Sunny Low and dancers were also featured in our local television many years back.
My heartfelt sympathy and condolences to the family of Sunny Low.
He will be remembered and missed.
Wow, you are so cool. You always share great posts. I scrolled down and found a beautiful, wonderful and cute post. Well, I tried to send a request, but I'm sorry without your permission.

My parents and Sunny attended many of my Grandmother's birthday Dinner and Dance at hotel ballrooms. All the glittery clothes and formal wear. I learnt to dance from Sunny at those events. An icon has passed from our shores.
