SAHM2Kids, can i ask, if DD take the grading, beside normal term fees, we need to top up one more mth of term fees right? i din ask to the details, but i just ask the lady there at dancepointe, she said something like that.. so since ur DD already in this, might as well verify with u

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.

ok got it. thanks for the info

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?

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.

Ok understood. May I know which centre did she learn from?

Tks, but my dd this year is only 3. Also the timing not very convenient. She comes home at 3.45pm, fainted liao, dun think she got strength to continue dancing at 4 plus pm. I want to sign her up for artistic gymnastics also scratch head cos timing also 4pm type.


So, think got to wait till next year ba.
