Hihi,


any one with children learning ballet at Attitude Arts at Bukit Timah Plaza? Would appreciate any feedback pls

Cheers!

My gal started her ballet at 3.5yo with teacher Alicia at Attitude Bukit Timah. She's a very good teacher and provided a very good foundation for my gal. But the class started with very big groups but no worries cos she's very strict and children at that age tends to withdraw by a quarter in in every term. But for my gal, she stick to her for 1 yr only and change to Ms Nicole at Bukt Merah cos we moved. Ms Nicole at the other hand, lenient and make the class fun and so children loves her very much.

Hi poohbear,


Oh thanks. It is just a stone throw from my place, perhaps can go there take a look!

Titank,

Dance castle allows trial classes at $15 per class. You can actually trial a few lessons until you are comfortable before commiting. Just hv to pay for each trial class.

You can give them a call :callme: abt the trial and check it out before commiting.

Ms Nicole is no longer teaching at Dance Castle... She has her own studio at Blk 113 Bukit Merah View. You may email any enquiries to [email protected].

My daugthers go to Dance Theatre Arts. They have a a specialized training program in ballet that starts from 7+ years.


Although they are a new school. The teachers have good credentials.
They continue to still give workshops overseas. They relate well to the students and really motivate them to develop a love and passion for dance. They train the children to be very independent and work for themselves.

If you would like a taste of their programs. You can try out their summer school in June every year. It is fanstastic, and there is a fair amount of international participants. Their website is http://www.dancetheatrearts.net

Hi


Is there any kids learning ballet @ Moving Art? Can review?

[Monster Mummy]

hi,


Have you actually call or walk to check with moving arts.

Per my understanding, they would ask you to bring your kid for a trial to let the teacher to assess whether she is ready to go for ballet class.

KKL, Thomson Plaza houses Sylvia McCully Dance School. They take students from 5 yrs onwards, intake is in April.


Dancepointe at Taman Jurong and Jurong Stadium is pretty good (or at least there were good teachers a couple of years ago). There’s a branch at Sengkang too I think.
