Does parents have this confusing feeling - to try or not to try? I worry if my bb is not being offered, she will feel sad. however, if she does not try, she will miss out tis opportunity!

Ask yourself - is your dd's ballet outstanding or only above average? The girls I know who successfully DSAd into SCGS, MGS and SOTA were outstanding in dance, scoring distinctions in most if not all their graded RAD exams. They also did more dance forms than just ballet, so they were very versatile. If your dd is outstanding, then go ahead and try. But if she's just above average then maybe give it a miss because there's stiff competition in dance DSA.

Well, my girl is only average jones in Guzheng, ballet, jazz, tap n violin. Not outstanding in any but she likes all. I will let her decide herself as she just came home and told me some of her friends of the similar caliber in dance are trying. As long as she is happy with the decision, I am happy…Thanks for your advice!

Ha ha ....
That's What My Gal did too! Join in the \"FUN\" of DSA-Dance with her other Classmates.

As long as U Don't Overstretch yourself, and Manage the Expectation (Very Tough to Be selected via DSA-Dance!), it is a Good Experience

Do you mean international students who are studying P6 in local school or who are coming to Singapore for Sec One?

Hi there, is anyone applying to Singapore Chinese Girl’s School or Cedar Girl’s School or River Valley High School?

Is there anyone of you who have applied to these schools via DSA? I would like to know more.
You see, I have 1 leadership role, have won an award in a science competition, got plenty of "participation"s for maths olympiad… Do I stand a chance?
