No it's not. Go for a trial lesson for the teacher to determine which level she should join. She'll probably start off at Primary level, skipping the Pre-Primary level because she would be more coordinated at this age.

Hi jtoh, thank you for reply. Oh really she can skip the pre-primary level? Is she will miss out some steps before going up to the higher grades?


I should bring her for a trial. Do you have any recommend?

Thanks

At pre-primary, many of the little girls aren't as coordinated so they'll do activities to improve coordination. By 7 years old, the girls are able to do more movements so they can proceed straight to Primary, depending on the child and how the teacher assesses the child of course.

Some schools also offer ballet as an enrichment so you might want to check those out. Although private schools are probably better. Some of the ballet classes conducted at CCs are pretty good too.

No, not too late. My dd started ballet at 7yo (in P1) last year as well. She went for the trial and was allowed join a Grade 1 class.
