        Think grade 5 is the min requirement for Ballet. Correct me if I am wrong.

            I will not waste time prepare for it[/quote]I think they will give everyone a chance. So if no grades, but very good, they will still offer. This is unlike other schools during DSA - where they only take in those who are competition prizewinners. I accompanied a friend's son for SOTA dsa 2 years ago. The teachers in the audition even helped him along at his weaker parts - very nice. Like they really wanted to try and see if he could do better. But really , that boy didn't put in enough practise. They were given 3 weeks to work on the set piece, but he worked on it only 2 days before. He didn't get in.

                Does anyone have a child attending SOTA? I am thinking of possibilities for my daughter. We have a long way to go still (she’s in P3) but would like to hear from parents who have kids studying there. Thanks!

                  Heh, I finally found my post 🙂


                  The earlier threads have been really useful, thanks to everyone for sharing your knowledge and experience.

                  My little girl is in P3 and is taking her Grade 1 RAD exam next month and is practising very hard. But because she is interested in it, she's not complaining and is really self-motivated. I wish she had the same zest with Maths!

                  I wonder if parents with kids in SOTA doing dance can tell me how they prepared their kids for the Talent Academy? I thought it was an audition so you go in, do your dance, and wait for the results to reach you a few weeks later.

                  Also, did any parent seek the help of the kid's ballet teacher to help choreograph for the Talent Academy...?

                  Thanks in advance!

                    Just attended the open house

                    The message they give is your kids must demonstrate the passion
                    Among the 4 art form, dancing is most tough most of the time stay late back for practices
                    Regarding the audition(TA) if u go for ballet , just come with your ballet uniform
                    If not, u need to prepare a dance
                    No minimum grade needed but they will encourage ur kid to make it
                    Average mean score for last year PSLE is 230 for SOTA
                    So if u want , start prepare now
