for me, i prefer send my girl learn from SBA. No matter what, SBA is a professional school for ballerinas. $171.20 (11 weeks) school fees per Term is reasonable.

so does SBA also follow RAD examination?
or they have their own grading system.
Does DSA recognize their certificate if different than RAD?

SBA does RAD syllabus. DSA for ballet usually requires min RAD Grade 5 or equivalent, but RAD is most recognized.

may i know what's the difference between the teaching result from SBA and CC ballet class?

Are all the student going through the same exam (U.K) and certification?

Thanks

SBA is one of the oldest ballet centres in Singapore. It is well-established and the teachers are good and there are opportunities for performances and if you're really good, opportunities for performing with SDT.

At the CCs, some teach RAD, others CSTD. Each centre's proficiency is dependent on the teacher. Some CCs are very good and constantly turn out high scorers who even win full scholarships to RAD's UK summer school.

I'm not sure which are the good CCs, but I do know some of the more well known teachers. Most of them teach in the east, and the teachers in the east are usually very experienced teachers. Mrs Lim Soo Chern is one of them. I think she teaches at Kampong Chai Chee CC. Ms Veronica Shen is also quite good, she teaches at Henderson CC and Pasir Ris East CC.

hi Susan,


you may call up SBA at tel:6337-9125, put your girl on waiting list. That's what i did. :dancing:

SBA has shifted to Waterloo street > 1 yr ago, no longer at that Fort Canning hill last time. Address is: 51, Waterloo street. You can take yellow circle line mrt to Bras Basah station. Alight, exit at 'exit D' - where the signboard says clearly exit to 'Waterloo street'. Once you come up to the street level, walk very short distance (hence, very convenient), can see Singapore Ballet Academy.

SBA is at level 4. But no lift. Need to exercise, walk slowly all the way up the stairs to the highest storey, level 4, SBA. Downstairs ground level got nice, food mini restaurant.

here is SBA website and contact address / tel:-

Anyone heard about StepUp learning and Dance at Safra Yishun? Heard is new and their environment not bad.


Any advice?
