Very late but I just stumbled on this thread and thought i'll give some opinions


I was in Crestar ballet from 3yo-8yo started with bebe ballet ended with grade 3 then my branch closed down so i transferred to another school...now I'm doing grade 8

but anyway, i just think that if you're just looking for your dd to have fun, crestar is a gd choice since its more for young kids to have fun etc but if u want your dd to go far in ballet and really do well in it, i would suggest you let her try another school, because Crestar doesn't really produce gd students accept the Marine Parade branch I found out only after i transferred school that all my teachers were never registered certified teachers of RAD!!!! :yikes:
and some centers also only do CSTD so well, for CSTD, its really for pleasure so yeah ><

In crestar, I had fun but didn't do so well always low merit...then after i transferred school it was more strenuous training but i did better too distinctions...^^
just my opinions

Seems to be the typical commercial schools with too many branches.


Anyone with Crestar- Kovan?
Can i check if there is any year end concert in Crestars? Do they send the children for competition?

THanks.

Ribbon 4,


I am considering to change school for DD cos they change their timing from afternoon to morning which crash into my DD English class.

Do you mind sharing the name of the new school that you transferred?

You can look at some community centres/clubs which offer ballet lessons. Some of the teachers may be good also. And the cost of the lessons are much cheaper compared to Crestar.


My girl took lessons at Crestar when she was much younger, but we switched to a CC ballet class after 1-2 years.

Hi hi, I would like to find out more on those who joined Crestar and moved to a CC class.


My girl has attended Crestar for BB ballet since 3.5yo and pass her Primary Ballet CSTD exam last year. This year, they are going for the grade 1 exam but the coaching fee is kind of steep (in my opinion). Apr to Oct for over S$600. I know that coaching class is a must if you want to take the exam, but is this like a norm range for private school?

I was thinking of moving her to CC ballet class as I believe in the long run, the courses fee and coaching fee is much more affordable. But on the other hand, I’m also worried about the standard of CC ballet classes. I actually quite like her current teacher and her class size is less than 10 at Crestar.

I’ve enquired 2 CCs near my area and 1 teacher is doing RAD and 1 is doing CSTD. Both teachers do not have any intake for grade 1 at the moment and it seems like they usually reserve their grade 1 classes for existing students. Plus their class size can go up to 20.

I also read that RAD has higher standard and I’m afraid my 8yo will end up in Primary ballet again if she would to switch from CSTD to RAD. I’m in a delimma. Hope to receive some good advise here.

My daughter is just eight years old now and wants to learn dancing, she insisted too much that's why I enrolled her in a dance training center. She is now happy.
