All About Ballet

[Serendipity]

Hi all,


Can anyone share their DD's experience of taking the RAD pre-primary or primary exams?

Am trying to decide whether to sign DD up for exam next April, cos the school's already asking whether we want to sign up for coaching lessons.

Thought it'd be good to hear from those who've been through the experience.

Thank you!

i was thinkiing if ballet & chinese dance can be incoporated... is there such a class?

poppy,
Yes, Dance Ensemble Singapore at Waterloo St offers contemporary Chinese dance lessons. They teach both Chinese dance and ballet. My DD attended 7 to 8 lessons then stopped cos she really wasn't independent enuf to go through the 2h training on her own (without mummy lah). Now, when i mention Chinese dance, she'll scream and protest. :faint:

Waterloo St. too far for me.... anyway, thanks for the info, Serendipity.

NAFA also offers classes in classical ballet and chinese dance. My CC (Dover CC) also offers balet and chinese dance (different teachers, different days). Perhaps you can check out your CC too. I think lots of CCs offer ballet, and some offer chinese dance too.

Does anyone know I can buy chinese dance handkerchifs from, in Singapore? I’d rather not order online.

Think it's K1 in NAFA ....
If Young Age Join the Class, No Need Audition.
If Join Later, say Upper Pri, May Need to audition to see which Grade match to Skill level of the Kid ....

Well, will try to see if can reintroduce Chinese dance to DD again in future... For now, will let her concentrate on ballet first.
