All About Ballet

How long your gal starts to skip?


Practice with the children as the class progresses. Soon, you gal will be able to skip like the rest

Not all children has the same strong area in ballet. Initially some can skip well, some can do knee bend exercise gracefully, some can do frog exercise without effort etc. Through practice, one will reach about the same level with the rest

So no worries…

i notice that a lot of ballet girls with long hair tend to bun up their hair, look very femine & nice.


if a child has short hair - is there such thing as can buy a false bun (sounds silly to ask, but curious)? because my daughter insist on want to keep long hair, but our weather here is so hot & humid, sweat a lot.

Hi, Phtthp,

my daughter used to wear short hair for the same reason as you mentioned, but for her ballet exam, i have to let her keep long hair so that it can be bunned up. In her class, no kids use fake bun though i support your idea. But if short hair to be bunned up by something fake, we need to apply gel or spray, right? Personally I am quite against the idea of gel as anything chemical is no good for small kids

Hi,

Is it necessary to take pre-primary exams? Or can we skip the lower grades?
Any thoughts on this?

Hi, my DD skip primary level. But she did take pre-primary exam before she was promoted to Grade 1.

So i guess it is possible to skip pre-primary. Please confirm with the teacher as different syllabus might have different requirements.
