Dancepointe - Discussion

Yes, my DD also in the Dancepointe. We are told to sit outside except those who came for the trial. Parent will join and see.


I believed that every course bound to have trial lesson for children to join before they decide the attend the class continuously. I think that as a parent you will not want to pay for a whole term fee and realise that the kids are not interested in the class.

some feedback to share… i feel the teacher in dancepointe (PS) is not so interactive with parents. they just finish their class, then if parents want to ask question, always the same answer, "she is ok" and not everytime she will feedback to us on our girl. i feedback to my DH, he said maybe cos PS class is too basic to comment much, so long the child din make a fuss in class, they are just "enjoying" the movements and songs… what do you think ?

Hi micollh,


My DD is in Dancepointe at Jurong West Stadium for almost 4 years. She is now 7 and taking RAD grade 2. From my observation, the first 2 years is basically for them to learn follow instruction and the music rhythm. I see a great difference in grade 1. My DD likes her teacher. Her class are quite discipline. They did well for their Grade 1 exam.

ic. so during her PS year… did they teacher feedback on how ur girl is doing in class each time or only when we ask?

[SAHM2KIDS]

They will have open house yearly for the parents to see and know what the girls have learnt. May I know who is your DD’s ballet teacher ?

[micollh]

really? i was not told abt the open house thingy… mine is is sengkang branch. teacher is mariska.

[SAHM2KIDS]

Yes, there will be openhouse yearly. Usually is before exam.


I know Ms. Mariska. She taught my DD for Pre-Primary level last year when her teacher is away for study. No worry. She is very experience. Most of the girls in my DD’s class scored very good result for their Pre-Primary exam.

[SAHM2KIDS]

You are welcome.

Dancepointe used to be a good ballet place when it first started. Some teachers are nice and patient, some just shouted at the children, showing their impatience and a nightmare to children. Not sure if the school management realised or not, hope they are not engrossed in profit maximisation to realise this.
