Can I know which ballet school you have tried as it seem that there are one dance school in Bishan CC that offer ballet. Cheng San CC also got offer ballet class. Normally from what I see, the older girl, school will try to place them in Grade 1 classes. But at this timing, it will be most likely late for her to join classes as some school prefer student to join in the beginning of the year and moreover, currently, coaching classes for the RAD is going to start soon.

I first tried a place where my girls take drama classes called "Center Stage". They are no where near Bishan, but it seems that I always end up traveling for their activities anyway. I thought that place would be accommodating since they mainly cater to ex-pats, but that was not the case.


Then I tried a ballet school that was near to a place where they already go for tuition, by Upper Bukit Timah Rd. But that place did not work out either.

I did find a Crestar location in Thomson Plaza that would give the girls trial lessons this Sunday, Grade 1 for the youngest and Grade 3 for the oldest. So we are going on Sunday, and we will see if my oldest can keep up with the Grade 3 lesson. I wouldn’t mind putting her at a lower level, as long as there were at least one or two older girls in the class along with her. But maybe that is just too difficult to find? We will have to see how how things go at Crestar on Sunday.

Thanks for all of your help.

No issue, I think that there is one centre in Bishan CC called moving art also offer ballet classes. Not quite sure you have approached the centre or not.

When I first started dd1 on ballet, the obj is to give her a chance to learn teamwork, better posture and improve motor skills. Never thought of going professional.


She is currently working on grade 5 next April and plan to stop after that. I find such a waste since she has already come so far.

The Ballet and Music Company is a joke. The management hide behind their staff and don’t address any of the parents concerns.

They are not serious in helping the children achieve a proper ballet training. Lack of good management and etiquette.

i would say definitely go for it! the private lessons would cost more but you would improve faster and as long as you practice then you should be golden. good luck
