I grade 3/4 harder to get merit ? Dd got only a pass for gr3 rad...

Not sure if you are asking a question. For grades 3 and 4, merit was the majority in dd class out of ten students, usually only 2 distinction and 1 pass, the rest all merit so far. Just sharing.

Mind sharing which school. As my gal school teacher said it's normal to get a pass at this grade.. I feel that it's not encouraging the kids to do better..

Agree - could consider changing school.

Hi, is your daughter still attending classes at the Le Grand Dance School, how does she find it? Considering sending my daughter there too. Around how much are the classes and did you have to buy the leotards and all by yourself?

I am very dismayed that The Ballet and Music Company does not have our children’s interests at heart.


Our daughters are due to perform on the 17th of Sept at Kallang Theatre; our daughters are told to arrive at 9am (or 1pm) depending on the session, and parents will be away from them for at least 4-hours.

The children were not asked to bring any food. Also, Sheila from the Ballet and Music Company called saying that Kallang Theatre does not allow food to be consumed on its premises.

Our daughters are spending 4 hours rehearsing and performing on empty tummies. Many parents have highlighted this to the school but they are not going to provide any food for our children. This is not the way and this is not a solution. I am extremely disappointed in the ballet school’s lack of welfare for the child. Have the Ballet and Music Company realized how much effort, time and enthusiasm our daughters have shown in wanting to perform, and in this case they are also representing the Ballet and Music Company? How different are the Ballet and Music Company compared with slave drivers?

Any parents who have sent their daughters for the Junior Prima Performance, we need to stand up and have our voices heard by their management.

Hi, my girl is currently doing both RAD and CSTD exams. Is that common in other ballet schools? She completed her pre-ballet exams for RAD in Apr. Thereafter, she has started coaching lessons for CSTD. Basically, she has coaching almost throughout the whole year. I thought the norm is to take either RAD or CSTD. Can someone enlighten me please?
