hi for jazz she started last year when she followed Ms koh. i understand that bk batok and macpherson got both type of dances. they will do jazz exam first half year then next half year is ballet. it is a very good exposure for the kids. The regular lesson is 1hr and extra coaching lesson on a separate day.

the ballet and jazz are separate lesson?

the exam is within the school itself? if so i will check with my daughter's teacher when it will be for my girl...

[sweetiepie]

Actually the extra lesson is only when there is exam whether for jazz or ballet. The exam is usually in the school. it is better for you to check with the teacher. Some students in macph actually took 2 grades concurrently last year. My girl had her grade 1 jazz and going for grade 5 ballet this november. What about your girl? Is she performing in the YOG dance? I am waiting for them to start a babe ballet class after this YOG performance. My 3 yrs old enjoyed the trial lesson so much. i have waited quite some times already. now just put her in crestar babe ballet dance while waiting.

wow, YOG dance, your girl must dance very well to be selected. :celebrate:

My girl is 4.5 yrs old and just started pre-ballet this March, so till now 4mths only... she enjoyed it very much...

sori, i am very blur here regarding the dance exam. Is the exam conducted and graded in / by the school of dance itself ?
how long has your girl learned ballet? how long does it take to achieve grade 5? you said your girl is 3 yrs?

[sweetiepie]

i have 2 girls. The elder one is 10 yrs old and she started dancing with Ms Kok when she was 3 yrs old. The younger one is 3 yrs now. i know this teacher many years and hoping that my younger one can be her student as well because she is firm but not fierce and very responsible. she always wants her student to expose more dances. As for the graded exam, the examiner from RAD will go to the school. Yr girl’s ballet teacher will let you know when to enroll for the exam.

Any feedback on the following ballet schools?


- Palais Dance Studio

My daughter has been with Palais since she was 4 years old. She recently took and passed her Primary exams with merit. No complaints. The school is very established and the teachers are strict but that helps the girls be disciplined in dance. My daughter recently took and passed her Primary exams with merit.

My girl started ballet when she was 4+ and taking the exam every year and now she is 12 and currently in grade 6. She has just received a confirmed offer from Singapore Chinese Girls School via DSA ballet dance. Grade 5 RAD is a min. requirement for Sec 1 in take. If you are a “Kiasu mummy” like me…. you have to start to plan and send your girl for exam yearly in order to achieve grade 5 when she is below 12.
