Hi, need some advise here.

Does all CC ballet classes have RAD exams? Is the RAD exam held in the CC itself?

Kid is currently in the ballet and music company. The exams and coaching fees are so expensive. Thinking to withdraw after preprimary exam.

Should not have signed up for it. Sigh.

Thanks in advance
Mumkoh

Yes, CCs do have exams and exams are held in the premises.

Hi all
My girl is learning grade 1 in a private school.
School requires twice a week lessons if take exam.
Not so keen on exam as i want her to enjoy the ballet rather than go exams.Only a few students out of 11 students opt out of exam.
Does this mean she might not follow through in grade 2?school still allows those who didnt take exam to promote to next level.

For advice. Tks.

She will still be able to continue with grade 2 even without doing exams. Exams are for certification and students who take them tend to be more motivated in ballet, that’s the whole point of taking them.

Hi new here just wanted to check whether $260/13 lessons for a 1hr 15 min ballet grade 6 class reasonable?

Yes, that is extremely reasonable and way below the market rate. Usually around 350 onwards for a term.

Hi,

I am looking at Yan Ballet Academy at Kinex. May I know if any review / comment on this ballet school? Tqvm!

Yan Ballet is marketed as a competition studio with elite training programmes. Depends on what you want for your kid, recreational or more serious type of ballet training. Some kids do well in competitive atmosphere, others prefer more relaxed and fun.

Does anyone have experience with Cheng ballet? It does not follow rad syllabus - anyone followed through with Cheng and managed to dsa? Is the system good?

Anyone has any comments about attitude ballet at Bukit Timah plaza? Are they are good place to go to if my girl has interest and talent in ballet and dance and likely to continue for some time?

Cheng Ballet uses their own syllabus and exams. While the standard is high, students do not have backing of RAD cert which is fairly recognized in Singapore. Rigorous and teachers are known to be quite strict and no nonsense. However if you prefer tangible and recognized worldwide qualifications, RAD is still the way to go. There are schools that have RAD and additional elite team training

Hi all, my first just took pre-ballet exam for CTSD and we are planning to send her for the pre-ballet RAD exam as well next year. Any recommendations for schools in the east (Marine Parade / Bedok etc) that offers both syllables?

Hi everyone. I’m wondering when you think it is a good time for a girl to start trying out ballet classes. And also, any recommendations for ballet classes near Bukit Merah / River Valley area?
