Hi sembgal


So ur k2 girl this nov take pre primary after that she will be in primary level when she turns p1...
Then when will she take exam again?
Why do u consider cstd? Since cstd exam is twice a year, so the child can actually opt for either time to do the exam. But unlike rad, only once a year. Miss that period and u have to wait right

Hi, I'm actually clueless about ballet until I chanced upon this thread. I did not choose the ballet school because of CSTD or RAD preference. I chose it more for convenience sake and something fun for my girl to spend her time during her preschool years. I wasn't even aware about my child has to take ballet exam until the teacher told me. All along, I want my child to enjoy ballet and to have flexibility. I'm happy with my child's progress and let her enjoy at her pace. The joy of learning must be there. I'm just glad I started her at the right timing to learn ballet as her body is rather flexible now to learn gymnastics.

Hi, fo exam wise it will depend on children. Some children enjoy class but do not like exam stress. But as the age grow, they may also take ir differently. So if they want to try out the exam, it is quite acceptable to let them try as children react differently in terms of exam.
