      I have checked and confirmed the ballet shoe I bought was at SGD41 plus.

      Went over the weekend to counter check, staff informed it’s correct price charged.
      Never buy there again.

          Is not your fault.

          It is better to follow the rule of ‘willing buyer and willing seller’.

            Hi,


            Am a 14-year-old girl currently without any extracurricular activities. Wanted to take up ballet for university qualifications. Can anyone advise as to how long your children took to get to the higher grades (6,7,8)? Is it too late for me to start?

            P.S. Yes, I did in fact post the exact same message on the piano thread. Sorry, heh.

              On average : One year one Grade, since exam is held yearly, in April.


              Since you’re Sec 2 (aged 14), assuming that you start learning ballet this year, next year take RAD Grade 1 (G1) exam in April 2016, your timetable is

              15 year old : G1
              16 yo : G2
              17 yo : G3
              18 yo : G4
              19 yo : G5

              20 yo : G6
              21 yo : G7
              22 yo : G8

              You may try learning, see how it goes along

                    I personally feel can skip lower grade. Eg. start from grade 3 since she is 14 yrs old.

                      let the ballet Tr assess her first, see what the Tr say, see which Grade she can start from


                      If dont have any foundation at all, start from scratch base 0, even start from Grade 3, can be difficult.

                      start ballet at aged 14, is different from start piano.
                      Piano aged 14, still ok.

                      Ballet :
                      because bones already hardened by the time she in Sec 2, can be painful.
                      My neighbour’s daughter started learning ballet at P3, cried because the bending, stretching was so painful. In the end, she gave up, bec can’t bear the pain

                        Hi PHTTHP


                        You are right, I have seen Parents questioning the ballet teacher why their daughters cried in the class. They would put the blame on the teacher for giving their child a hard time.
