All About Ballet

[phtthp]

Yes, many parents nowadays select CCA as a beneficial form of DSA entry into Secondary schools. They don’t anyhow choose CCAs for their kids.


1) for singing and dance related CCAs:-
=======================
example:

a) NYGH (Nanyang girls High) -
it’s Chinese cultural dance, not ballet.

b) RGSS (Raffles girls Sec)
it’s Rhythmic gym (RG), or ballet, but not Chinese dance.

c) SCGS (Singapore Chinese girls Sec)

d) MGS and St Nick - not sure.
anyone know ?

2) how about violin, gu zheng, piano ?
any Secondary school allow DSA entry via musical string instruments ?

SCGS is definitely ballet, minium RAD grade 5 certificate.

how about come via Chinese dance too ?

Village Girl:

Really learnt a lot of this forum. Didnt know ballet is an avenue to DSA too. My elder girl skipped primary level and go directly to Grade 1. Think she has a merit for that...this year will be grade 2 (P2 this year). Must let her get at least grade 5 then. My younger girl skipped primary and Grade 1 level. She will be taking grade 2 this year. Will it affect?

Not at all, as long as grade5 cert is submitted with the DSA application form in order to get the chance for 1st audition.

RGS doesn't have DSA via Dance. They do offer Dance as a CCA once you enter the school.

MGS has Dance DSA.
