HI


NEed some advice. Is it better to proceed to intermediate foundation or continue with grade 7?

Based on my limited knowledge, usually the ballet teacher will recommend a route based on their own assessment which path is more suitable for you. However, I also come across 1 or 2 who do both grade 6 and IF concurrently as advised / required by their teachers. Maybe have a talk with your teacher to get a better view?

Take concurrently. Instead of 2x/weekly, you will need to do 3x/weekly.

Hi, I have problems with pm so I just reply here. My dd is with WingsToWings Dance Development Centre. She took grade 6 last year Apr and Intermediate foundation his year Aug. Based on my dd experience, grade 6 has more components and a longer syllabus where Intermediate foundation focus more on technique and there will be introduction of pointe work. To her grade 6 is harder because there are more exercises.

hi cool_hi,


My dd is 13yo. She took grade 6 during Psle year in previous dance school then switched to WingsToWings for Intermediate foundation. She has 3 lesson per week - one on weekday and the other two on weekends back to back. Dd doesn’t feel confused with the syllabus so far, I think is quite common for some school do grade 6 and Interfound together in 2 years.

Hi All, understand that music and movement come together. Is it necessary to learn music (piano, violin, vocal or other instrument) in order to be a better dancer? Rhythm, timing, beats are important to dancers.


Need advice and views, appreciate it.

Thanks.
