Anyone has recommendations for good ballet classes near marine parade? Went to Music&Ballet at parkway branch but didn't really like it.Went for trial at Amy School of dance near paya lebah. Liked what I see but they are offering ATOD syllabus. Torn between signing up and finding some other places. Any advice for this newbie here? :?

before you sign up at Crestar or any other ballet school, ask the teacher this important qn - is she teaching RAD or CSTD to your child ? -
hi Penghu,

if Yes, you can also try 'School of Dance' at Macpherson. It is the building beside Siemens, last time used to be '3 Rifle Shirts' building.

CSTD - Commonwealth Society of Teachers of Dance.
The RAD syllabus is from UK and is very established. It is used widely around the world.
CSTD is from Australia and is much newer.
Both draw from the same fundamentals but the emphasis is slightly different. The RAD syllabus is more exacting and stricter. The CSTD syllabus emphasises more on performance. Both are recognized in Singapore but usually RAD is used as the benchmark.
