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.

Hi Monster Mummy,

I just want to find out if their teacher is good.

Hi,


I did talk their staff people where my understanding, the teacher will also be judging whether the child is ready to take the course or need to come back few months.
