Serendipity:

Thanks SAHM2KIDS. I called up DancePointe and realised they've raised prices by almost $30! :shock:

Hi Serendipity, I think their prices are quite reasonable as compared to other dance school. They are quite flexible. They allow make up class. And they do not incurr extra charges for any extra classes. They'll make sure your kid is ready for exam.

Hi SAHM2KIDS,


Do you mean you don’t need to pay additional fees for exam coaching classes at DancePointe?? Thought most schools charge additional for coaching.

[SAHM2KIDS]

You still pay for the exam coaching classes by term basis. Any extra classes beyond the term they will not charge. For my DD’s case, this year exam was in mid April. Coaching classes supposed to end in Mar but they still go on until before exam without any extra charges.

Hi SAHMKIDS,


I guess you DD must be v.advanced! 7 yo in grade 2... how old did she start her ballet?

Also to check, is it only from Primary level onwards, there are exams? Pre-primary-no exams right?

SAHM2KIDS:

6 yo is not late. My DD is 7yo and she is in Grade 2. Most of the girls in her class are 8yo, some 9yo and even have 1 that is 10yo.

Grade 1 is tough for beginner. Should let the teacher assess and decide.

Hi micollh, yes, when coaching class start, your girl is required to attend 2 lessons a week and the fees is double for that term. Primary level onwards need to attend 2 terms of coaching class. Coaching class combines all the classess under the same grade, so you would expect more student in the class.

Hi i3mum, my DD started ballet when she was 3yo. She took exam for Pre-Primary and Grade 1. She skipped Primary level, in fact all in her class skipped Primary level because most of them are older and teacher thinks they should go for Grade 1 straight. Age is not really a matter, what matter is interest.
