Cheng Ballet uses their own syllabus and exams. While the standard is high, students do not have backing of RAD cert which is fairly recognized in Singapore. Rigorous and teachers are known to be quite strict and no nonsense. However if you prefer tangible and recognized worldwide qualifications, RAD is still the way to go. There are schools that have RAD and additional elite team training
Does anyone have experience with Cheng ballet? It does not follow rad syllabus - anyone followed through with Cheng and managed to dsa? Is the system good?

Hi all, my first just took pre-ballet exam for CTSD and we are planning to send her for the pre-ballet RAD exam as well next year. Any recommendations for schools in the east (Marine Parade / Bedok etc) that offers both syllables?

Hi everyone. I’m wondering when you think it is a good time for a girl to start trying out ballet classes. And also, any recommendations for ballet classes near Bukit Merah / River Valley area?

my girl has been learning ballet since 2.5 years old following RAD syllabus, she is 6 now - is it a must to learn to do split? I don’t see her ballet school enforcing this, and the ballet teacher said ballet is more of movements and split is more on gymnastics?

My daughter is complaining of muscle cramps after her session yesterday. What do you usually do to ease the pain?
How old is your daughter and how many classes does she have in a week? Mine complained of muscle sores few years ago and I was told by the teacher that it was common after they did some \"difficult\" stretching. Nevertheless, I still brought her to a nearby GP and he gave her a muscle ointment to ease the pain. Daily stretching also helps a lot. Hope she's getting better! -

It is not a must to learn to do split at that age. It really depends on the teacher. Many teachers I know don’t enforce a proper stretching routine in younger classes because at that age, they may lose interest in ballet if the teacher does anything that is painful or dry. For younger classes, it’s more of learning some ballet basics in a fun environment to stimulate their interest in dance, and then only at ages 7 or 8 do they start to be more serious.

Most dance schools try to take in students from age 2.5 or 3, but this is mostly from the business point of view. At 3 yo, children do not pick up real ballet steps in class. It’s more of a creative movement class. Even at age 5 or 6, the RAD syllabus is relatively simple, because children are not cognitively aware of their bodies enough to learn real ballet. So if you wish to just expose your daughter to ballet, get them moving and dancing at a young age, starting at 4 or 5 is fine. If you wish to enrol them in pre ballet, they’ll be doing a lot of creative movement and simple steps. Nothing like using the barre or doing pirouettes.

Thoughts on the rise of dance competitions in Singapore

What age must kids learn to do splits in ballet? Is it a disadvantage to not be able to do splits at say 7-8yo?
Is height (too tall or short) a disadvantage in ballet?
