Mum_2Gals:

My N1 is not 3yo yet. Will be sending her to CC for N2 next year. Considering ballet class when she turns 3 I'll prefer enrichments on weekdays, cos weekends are \"family time\". But that would mean I'll have to bring two kids on my own, and K1 will have to wait with me while N1 is having her class. How do you handle that? :?:

I thought N1 is 2006 kid? Yours year-end child?

Me too, I prefer enrichment on weekdays. My dd1 will bring along a book to read if waiting for dd2. If dd1 is the one attending classes then I bring dd2 to shopping..

Yap, end of year-end, still very \"baby\" Ha ha, guessed I just need to give them more time, easier to manage when they're older.

sleepy:

On weekends, I try to schedule their classes on the same day same time same location.

Good idea :idea: Can squeeze in some couple time too :celebrate: Must check out suitable courses in shopping malls soon, not easy to get same time-slots for two

Mums to Gals,


Ballet at 3yo seems a bit too young.
Personally, I think 4+ to 5yo better as they are more aware of
what they really like, so your money will be well spent.
The leotard set itself already costs $85 and if you take up
ballet at reputed centres, the fees are almost double compared
to community centres.

My girl started to ask to go for ballet when she was 4yo.
I managed to only sign her up at 5yo at our community centre
where the min. entry age is 5yo.

And since then, almost 3 years now, she has not missed a lesson.

My DD asked to learn ballet when she was almost 3yo. I wasn't sure if she was serious about it so I took my time to look for a school for her. Many schools near my home had long waiting lists so eventually, I signed her up at Crestar for the Bebe Ballet class which takes in girls from 3yo. She is now 7yo and is still learning ballet. (^_^)

Well Done Schellen!


Both our girls has a passion for ballet!
Found someone to talk on ballet now!
I hope my girl will continue with it as long as possible...
She will be going to take the Grade 1 RAD exam next April.

Actually, I don't really keep track of her progress in ballet since I have little appreciation for it. :oops: She doesn't practise at home too. She has the Pre-Ballet cert from this year so I guess the next one is Grade 1 for next year? :? Pai sei. I only know that she enjoys dancing so we just tell her that even if she chooses to pursue other forms of dance later on in life, ballet is a good foundation.

my 7 yr old girl going for grade 1 exam next april too.. She did not score too well for the last exam only 61... As they were tested in a group of 4 so I told her for the next exam concentrate on her own dance steps, do not bother what other girl is doing which is always the case...

Considering that DD doesn't practise except during the lessons, she did pretty well (Honours) for her last exam. We checked the \"score sheet\" and realised that she didn't do as well for the creativity segment, thus causing her to fall slightly short of the next grade. (What grade is just above Honours?)

Hi all.in.one,
Thanks for the info. Considering ballet cos my N1 really likes to dance. Ever since she watched the \"Barbie in 12 Dancing Princesses\", she'll start to dance whenever she hears music She has not attended any classes at all, thought can start her on something she's interested in. Hee, I understand your point. cos I myself took up ballet at 5yo, but quit in less than a year :oops:

I’m really a 100% SAHM.


I never leave my 20mth old son with maid at home. Either my hubby or myself, one of us gotta be at home. At times I feel quite bored at home, other then surfing, reading, visting neighbour, marketing etc. Currently abt 6 mths pregnant, my time spent is interacting with baby and resting besides attending part-time masters course. I’ve taken 1.5yrs of no pay leave and will be extending for another year.

If u ask me to bring baby out with maid, well I’m really not used to it. I dont enjoy it at all, therefore rather stay at home…My hp & pc are tools that let me connect with the outside world.

Well…I hope I can tahan the super long leave.
