Recently she voiced out that she wanted to learn ballet instead of violin. Any nice teachers in the east to recommend?

Is there anyone heard about StepUp learning and dance? my friend introduce me there since she already sign up her kids for dance.

They have doing promotion now, free goodly bag and rebate for the fee if you bring friends along.

I think I may try to bring my girl down for more information.

hi, how do you find the ballet teacher so far? where is the lesson conducted please... as I am looking around for one for my dd. thanks for sharing!

She goes to Crestar at Marine Parade. The teacher was recommended by a friend. I don't know much about ballet so cant judge but dd enjoys her lessons so far. I don't really have plans for dd to be a ballerina (her main focus at the moment is in sports) so we skipped this year's Grade 1 exam cos she doesn't have time to commit to the extra practises.

Her ballet teacher has said that she's keeping up fine with the class though so she can move on to the Grade 2 class and we can consider sending her for the Grade 2 exam next year if she's ready.

Hi jtoh, thank you for reply. Oh really she can skip the pre-primary level? Is she will miss out some steps before going up to the higher grades?


I should bring her for a trial. Do you have any recommend?

Thanks
At pre-primary, many of the little girls aren't as coordinated so they'll do activities to improve coordination. By 7 years old, the girls are able to do more movements so they can proceed straight to Primary, depending on the child and how the teacher assesses the child of course.

Some schools also offer ballet as an enrichment so you might want to check those out. Although private schools are probably better. Some of the ballet classes conducted at CCs are pretty good too.

Some schools offer ballet, chinese dance as CCA.

No it's not. Go for a trial lesson for the teacher to determine which level she should join. She'll probably start off at Primary level, skipping the Pre-Primary level because she would be more coordinated at this age.
