All About Ballet

sembgal:

I understand from my 6 years old daughter's ballet teacher that my gal is going to take CSTD syllabus for her Pre-primary ballet exam in Nov 2013 this year. May I ask for comments on what can I expect and how can I go about preparing her on top of what her ballet teacher is teaching her?

Hi Sembgal, my only advice is to ask your girl to smile and dance confidently. Enjoyment is key at their age.

Thanks for all your advice.

Tips I learnt from my gal’s ballet teacher…good to bring extra shoes, stocking, leotard, belt if you have…if your shoes are worn out, try to get a new pair 2-3 weeks before exam…and yes, smile adds bonus to the score…


I did not prep my gal for her past ballet exams…cos I know nuts about ballet…haha…can;t tell if she is doing the steps correctly. I trust that her ballet teacher would have given her adequate guidance for the exam…her teacher provided the dance DVD for us to watch and practise at home…but I never play the disc cos we do not have a player at home.

I usually order through my child's ballet teacher. She will take measurement and helped to buy. If it doesn't fit, she will exchange for me. Save my time when I get ballet teacher to help me with purchase order. My child has to get a new set of ballet attire and shoes as she experienced growth spurt this year.

Thanks for the information.


Noted on OKH, Sonta dancewear(which I may just pop by) or prob just purchase from the school itself.

Some teachers set up a network of parents where they can get 2nd hand leotards & skirts from each other, because the kids outgrow their attire so quickly at the "primary" age.
