Your DD is from Novena ballet school? I think its prices are really expensive because my DD ballet teacher charges Sonata's prices also. But I prefer to buy from Sonata because I can buy a size bigger (ballet teacher always buy just right which my DD outgrown very fast!)
Not to late to find out :rahrah: Afterall, she's only G4 and has a long way to go. Going forward, she will be so happy to wear brand new ballet shoes at only 1/2 the price. -

any idea grade 1? as we havent got the date but was told sometime in April
All ballet grades exams are around same timing - April. Your ballet teacher should have receive the exam dates from RAD so it is good to check with her. Few ballet teachers prefer to reveal the dates after the \"Open House\" which parents are invited to \"see\" the progress of their child and briefed of the exam dates and points to take note for the examinations (e.g. no accessories, reporting time etc.)
Just like piano exams, the ballet exam dates are not in order of the grades i.e. for a particular date, there may be exams for Grade 1 in the morning, Grade 2 in early afternoon, Grade 4 in late afternoon etc.
Jiayou, let's wish our girls all the best for their ballet examinations next month. -

Bleeding and bruises I heard is very common doing pointe! -
