POPULAR local girl group Dolla is going through intensive daily training in the lead-up to their debut concert in less than a month, Berita Harian reported.
Dolla’s Wan Sabrina Wan Rusli (Sabronzo) said the group’s mission is to train harder to ensure the audience will be satisfied with their Aug 3 concert at Zepp KL.
“We are undergoing intensive training every day. Dolla is also practising vocals and dance for a minimum of six hours a day to ensure the performance at this debut concert is spectacular,” she said.
Since entering the local music scene in 2019, Dolla now consists of Sabronzo, Tabitha Ariel Lam (Tabby) and Angelina Chai Ka Ying (Angel), after Syasya left the group in April.
“Even without Syasya preparations are going smoothly,” Sabronzo said, adding that Dolla has engaged local choreographer Ezra.
“We trust Ezra to arrange our dance moves. All this time, he has been choreographing for Dolla.
“Ezra went to South Korea to train and is now of international standard. Ezra also has his own dance team,” Sabronzo said.
