Hi Pixie28


thks, can i know which cc is ur gal having her ballet lesson? i m looking for pre-primary ballet for my gal but most of the centre or cc i called the classes have already started or timing not suitable..

hi shinystar

my gal is taking classes in both sengkang and toa payoh west cc under ms chin. Grade 2 in Sk and grade 4 in tp.
Yes exams are usually ard April. They are in e final prep for exams now so I believe they will only take in new students in apr. You may want to call the cc and check with them which teacher's timing is suitable for your gal or whether both ms chin and ms woo will be taking in pre primary gals for the next intake.

Hi Pixie28


How long they take to finish one level to proceed to another level?? For pre-primary ballet, the gals also need to go for exam too or only take exam when they r in higher grade level?the students will undertake examination from which recognised dance examination? thks

Usually it takes one year to finish one level, until they reach higher levels like grade 6. Some teachers do allow them to finish in one year too, but others would recommend doing it over 2 years before taking exams.


Exams are not compulsory, at least not for the graded syllabus. You can skip say pre primary exam and still do primary exam the next year, or grade 3 exams n years later. I never did the lower level exams because my mum said she didn’t want to take the fun out of dancing by having unnecessary stress for exams.

Hi,


hoping for more feedback on Palais Dance Studio and Cheng Ballet. Anyone can share some feedback? Don’t seem to have read much so far.

My gal is already on SBA waitlist but I find the location inconvenient. These two would be much better for me now and for her in future. The new SBA class should start around June.

Anyone can help? Tks.

Mr Cheng is good. I'm not sure if the school does RAD though.
