<![CDATA[All About Dancing]]>Heard from my dancer friend that either Chinese dance or ballet provide very good basic for young children.


Any one like to recommend any chinese dance schools? I’m more into Chinese dance than Ballet.

Hi!
My 5 yo has been learning ballet at her current studio for two terms, and has recently been invited to audition for the elite ballet class — auditions were held a few months ago and we didn’t sign up. (We are thinking perhaps someone has withdrawn and a slot has opened up or something, but no matter.)

What I’m really asking is, is it easy to pass the audition for an elite class? If it’s just an extra class that most if not all students can sign up for eventually, we would hesitate to do it as we would prefer to let her have time to play on her own. If she has been spotted because she has a flair for the sport, then we will support her progress.
We won’t know the reasons why the child was selected because the Teachers may have vested reasons for doing so or your child is indeed talented (2 terms sounded to me a bit too fast). You probably need to know that the elite classes are typically for those students that the schools Want to prep them for competitions so do expect more lessons nearer to competition time and costs associated with competition like costumes, comp fees and extra training hours.
5-year old is not too young to be trained for competitions many competitive dancers started young too. At the end of the day, it’s really the parents call and balancing all other kids commitments.

My girl is 15 with no prior dance experience… is there any school that can teach modern or contemporary dance to teens with no dance experience?

Thanks

I was just asking if she needs help but she lashes her personal problems at me saying that am some lady’s friend when I told her am not and have told her am sorry if my question “do you need help” triggers such angry outburst.

The gist of the conversation is I asked if she needed help and she retaliated in anger and assumed am some lady’s friend that wrote somethings in her (Nicole’s) fb last year saying Nicole wanted to borrow money.

She then said the lady uses the lady husband’s Hp and texted Nicole, which caused the lady’s father in law and husband some trouble etc etc. She then said the lady’s husband created a company and never pay Nicole money for years and CPF and created another company using Nicole’s name.

Then she also said her (Nicole’s ) husband’s Glissade leasing business is in debt because his partners cheated on him and demanded to top up the losses.

I was taken aback by her lashing and she just lashed her personal problems at me , a third party who doesn’t know what is happening at all.

I apologized to her and even told her that she should settle the problem with the lady but she said she never even see the lady before / know the lady and said am siding the lady ....it is just too scary / crazy to lash such things to a third party.

I explained to Nicole that perhaps the lady doesn’t like the conversation she sees that her husband and Nicole shared so the lady texted her using the lady’s hp and I told her that she should settle with the lady and forgive as no one is perfect but she keeps on lashing and lashing personal things when I told her I don’t want to be involved.

I was contemplating whether to post the conversation here but out of the goodwill of all parents and mums out there, please think twice if you want to enroll your kids to Glissade Dance Studio / Glissade Pte Ltd as it is very scary to be at the receiving end of her personal lashing and attacks.
(If I don’t show any evidence, maybe some parents will think am making things up) hence please see the conversation yourself and please consider other ballet studios out there. I think it is very rude (more towards scary) to lash such things to a stranger who doesn’t even have a clue to what is happening.

Nicole seems to have anger displacement issues whereby she is angry perhaps with the lady, the lady’s husband, her (Nicole’s) own husband or Nicole’s husband business partner etc but Nicole just simply lashed things out at ppl just because she thought am the lady’s friend who wrote things on her fb last year.

She should seek some help. It is not healthy to be a teacher when you don’t have a peaceful state of mind and anger management / displacement issues. I personally will not want to enrol my child if I know the teacher has such anger management/displacement issues. It is a long read but I just want parents / mums out there to be wary. Thank you.

She is turning 5 this Dec. She seems keen enough but of course with kids, never sure how Long this will last. Anyone sign a contract for their kid like this before?

This was offered after an audition and classes will be on TOP of her regular ballet class and RAD coaching class. I’ve never been in dance so I’m not sure what to expect from this.
Congratulations on your daughter's promising start to ballet. I am not sure what you will be bounded in the contract but as with all other dance schools, once you are enrolled/selected into the Elite Dance program, be prepared to fork out another 2-3 days extra just to train for competitions all year around. Together with the regular grading program, you may be looking at 5-6 times lesson a week plus the enrichment costs. Something for you to ponder over spending huge amount of time/effort/money, however my advice is \"if you want to be a pro, it's best to start young\".[/quote]
Thanks for your reply Imp75. She is young and the number of classes expected is 3 times a week. Which kind of shocked me but of course you also mentioned about 5/6 times a week. Wow. That’s like a career.

The contract contains clauses like must notify holiday plans 2 months in advanced.
85% attendance and certain standards met before they can allow performance for external engagement. No remuneration expected from external engagement and I’m supposed to pay for a one year contract plus a deposit which could forfeited. I Guess this is all meant to be for her exposure. After some discussion, me and my Husband decided we will go as far as she likes it and monitor. My kid loves the teacher and I hope this continues to be the way for her.
