She will be taking G1 Apr '16. She's learning how to turn on her on.
She manages to saw this on youtube, so she asked me if she can have it or not.

I have asked her teacher, she told me turnboard normally used in the early stage of turning. it help to learn how to balance better and has more turns.

However, if one haven't know how to turn properly, it is dangerous and can cause injuries.

Hi

I’m looking for an alternative school for my DD. Currently my DD is 5 years old and is with Crestar Thomson. Not very happy as the teacher seems to force students to take the pre-primary exam and coaching lessons. As the coaching lessons clash with my DD’s piano lesson, I decided not to let her take the pre-primary exam. The teacher told my DD next year must take the Primary exam.

Not too happy with the teacher as I understand exams esp pre-pri and pri are not compulsory.

My sister recommend Ms Pang Ling of Trudance, but is too far away as I stay in the Bishan/Thomson area. Any recommendation from parents here would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

i DO NOT recommend your child getting a turnboard!! i personnaly have one and it is very dangerous if your child is only in the lower levels of ballet. the technique for turning on the board and for ballet is very different it may be fun, but will not benefit your child in any way
